Q. Proposal Photography Engagement Photography NYC. What’s the difference?

A: Proposal photography is having the expertise to nail the moment of asking them those four words your partner is dying to hear. The work must be clear, well lit, concise and tell the full story of what is happening.

Q. Can you help me come up with an idea for my proposal?

A: From years of experience, we can offer you some great ideas. Although we aren’t event planners, we know good spots you may not have even considered!

Q. But I spent all my money already on a ring. How can I afford proposal photography?

A: Proposal photography isn’t for everyone. But it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere. And we’re happy it’s going to stick around. So, consider building in a $1,200.00 USD cushion into the price of the engagement ring. If you think about it as part of the cost of the ring, you won’t have sticker shock when it comes time to hire us for your NYC proposal photography. We are here to help you make memories.

Q: Now, what is engagement photography? How is it different from proposal photography?

A: Engagement photography is a little different from proposal photography. This is the ensuing shoot which occurs after the ring is accepted. It chronicles the moments and emotions after the actual proposal is over. This part of the shoot usually takes about 30-45 minutes post-proposal. We know you have calls to make and ring selfies to text to your families. We want to shoot it thoroughly but we also don’t want to keep you from living your life.
