Testimonials
We believe in delivering moments that speak for themselves, but don’t just take our word for it.
“Absolutely loved the service! Kelsey met us on the trail in the mountain. My soon to be fiancé was not suspicious whatsoever, and Kelsey caught the moment perfectly. Then stayed with us for a while and got some really good post proposal pictures as well.”
How far in advance to book a surprise proposal photographer
Timing is crucial when planning a surprise proposal.
To ensure you secure the best photographer, consider booking several months ahead. This allows time for both of you to discuss your vision and choose the perfect location, which may require permits or coordination. Additionally, it gives you the flexibility to reschedule in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Peak seasons can affect availability.
Most photographers recommend at least 8-12 weeks in advance – especially during busy times like summer and fall – to ensure even your last-minute details are well executed. And don’t forget, weekends and holidays book up fast! I always recommend that my couples choose a week day to avoid unwanted crowds and a more private experience.
Early booking not only ensures availability but also provides ample time for creative planning. Imagine coordinating intricate details like a surprise picnic, a scenic hike at sunrise, or even a hidden spot in one of Colorado’s many breathtaking locales. With advanced planning, we can ensure every moment is perfectly captured.
