It’s that time of year; everyone is starting to plan the last half of the year with great goals, dreams, and engagements! As a surprise proposal photographer in Denver, I love helping couples plan their surprise proposals and capture emotions throughout the day. Guys are starting to think about how to plan the perfect proposal for the one, and with surprise proposals being such a huge trend right now, I thought I’d share some advice.

How to Plan the Perfect Proposal

First, to capture this amazing moment, find a photographer for your perfect proposal. It’s going to make a huge difference when you look back and reflect on this day. You’ll see her reaction and not worry about whether your friend got the right parts on camera. I’ll be there to take pictures of you setting up your perfect proposal and all the behind-the-scenes that she wouldn’t usually see. Another great part about having a photographer is that we have some secrets we’ll share with you. Perfect locations for intimate and special moments, vendors that can help with flowers and planning, and we’ll keep you calm.

Your Surprise Proposal Photographer Says Location Matters

Next up, let’s talk location. I always love it when my clients find a location that is special and unique to their relationship. Another option is finding somewhere intimate and quiet for just the two of you. Your perfect proposal may be to hike in Sloan’s Park or maybe to a chic restaurant in downtown Denver. Or maybe it’s a picnic at the Colorado State Capitol. Somewhere special and unique is the key!

Sunrise or Sunset?

What about the time of day? Plan your perfect proposal for just before sunset; this makes for those golden pictures right before the sun sets. A lunch picnic or somewhere in the early afternoon can be harsh for pictures, but not impossible. Think about things you two would normally do together. Would you go for a hike on a weeknight? No? Then plan something so she’ll be surprised. It shouldn’t be anything too unusual, so she’ll not be sure something is up!

Your Surprise Proposal Photographer Says Bring Props To Bring it Together

Any perfect proposal will need flowers, lights, or pictures of the two of you. I always love a fun set-up that makes things click together for the girl and makes for the cutest pictures. I just had a client plan a picnic for his now-fiance, and he had pictures and flowers, and it was the best. Think about what she likes and incorporate that into the big moment. That’ll for sure bring a smile to her face!

Whether you plan a scenic hike or a romantic dinner, I’m sure your proposal will be memorable and special.
