She Said Yes.
And You Have the Photos to Prove It.

Our proposal photography packages start at $500 for the Mini Package, $600 for the Estate Package (our most popular), and $900 for the Cinematic Package which includes a professional highlight video with real audio. All packages include full proposal planning with Julie, location scouting, backup plans, and 48-hour gallery delivery. Add-ons like flowers, champagne, and drone coverage are also available.

We have photographed over 750 surprise proposals and have never given away the surprise. At most locations, we arrive early and position ourselves out of sight with a long telephoto lens. Your partner will not see us until you are already on one knee. At locations where hiding is not possible, we blend in as tourists or landscape photographers. Our camera stays out of sight until the moment happens. During your planning call, Julie will walk you through exactly where we will be positioned.

As soon as you have a general timeframe. Weekends fill up quickly, especially during fall color season (October), spring (April through May), and December holidays. We recommend reaching out at least 2-3 weeks before your planned date, but we have accommodated last-minute proposals when the schedule allows. Call Julie at 828-243-2755 and she can check availability immediately.

Asheville weather changes fast. If rain is forecasted, Julie will work with you to find a window in the weather or pivot to a backup location. We always have a Plan B ready. If conditions are truly unsafe, we reschedule at no extra charge. Light rain can actually produce some of the most romantic, dramatic photos we take. Fewer crowds, moody skies, and genuine emotion make for stunning images.

Yes. The week before your proposal, Julie will schedule a call to go over every detail of the plan with you and answer any questions. She covers your exact timing, sunset time for that specific day, where to park, where we will be positioned, your walking route, and the backup plan if anything changes. After the call, she sends a follow-up email or text (whichever you prefer) with everything you discussed so you can reference it quickly. We do this because we know the nerves are real, and people forget details when they are excited. Having everything written down means you walk into your proposal day with total confidence and zero guesswork.

Depending on your package, we transition into a mini or extended engagement session immediately after. With the Mini Package, we stay in the general proposal area for additional couple portraits (complete galleries typically run 100 to 175 photos). With the Estate or Cinematic Package, we explore further, taking you to multiple nearby spots for a wider variety of images (150 to 300 photos).

Julie handles this all the time. She can communicate via text, email, or phone, and she will work around your schedule and privacy needs. When you reach out, just let us know your preferred contact method and any times to avoid. We will honor it completely.

Absolutely, and we have an entire dedicated guide for Biltmore proposals with 11 specific locations on the estate, parking strategies, shuttle info, and seasonal tips. Visit our Biltmore Estate Proposal Guide for the full breakdown. The pricing and packages are the same.

We provide styling guidance during the planning process. Solid colors and jewel tones photograph best in mountain and outdoor settings. Avoid small busy patterns (they create visual distortion in photos) and aim for complementary, not matching outfits. Think of it as getting dressed for a really nice date night.

Absolutely. Most of our clients are visiting from out of town and do not know the area. Julie will ask about your vision, your comfort level with hiking, whether you want something private or iconic, and what time of year you are visiting. Then she will present you with options, including photos from that location in that season from previous years.

Yes. Since we have been shooting proposals since 2010, we likely have example galleries from the same week you are planning to visit. You can see what the leaves, wildflowers, or snow looks like at your chosen spot during your specific timeframe. Just ask Julie during the planning call.

Yes. We regularly photograph proposals on the Blue Ridge Parkway, in DuPont State Forest, at Pretty Place Chapel (just across the SC border), and at private venues throughout Western North Carolina. Travel is included at no extra charge.

Your complete gallery is delivered within 48 hours, guaranteed. If you add the same-day delivery upgrade ($50), you will have your photos before the day is over.

It depends entirely on the location, time of day, and day of the week. This is one of the biggest reasons to work with us. We know exactly when each location is busy and when it clears out. Julie will help you pick a time and spot that gives you the privacy level you want.

The Cinematic Package includes a professionally edited highlight video with real audio from the moment. You hear the actual words, the reaction, and the emotion exactly as it happened. It is not just a silent montage set to music. This is the version you will want to show your family and watch on your anniversaries.

You can, or we can handle it for you. We source, set up, and clean up so you do not have to carry anything or worry about logistics. Just tell Julie what you have in mind. Some locations have restrictions on what can be brought in, and Julie will walk you through that during your planning call.
