celebrating
the "Yes" before
the "I Do"
"She was extremely kind, easy to work with, and creative. Frances was extremely communicative from the jump, having multiple meetings with us to go over our wishes before the big day. All we could say was WOW! She brought her creative vision and expertise and blended it perfectly with our wants."
- Thomas & Monique
- Linda & Matt
"The photos she captured were absolutely perfect—natural, beautifully framed, and a true reflection of our love and the stunning scenery around us. Frances has an incredible eye and a warm, easygoing presence that made the entire experience so enjoyable."
- Kendall & Ryan
"Her communication and workmanship is amazing. Everyone was blown away by her and we are so grateful she took both our engagement and wedding photos!"
Leading up to your proposal, I work closely with you to plan the time, place, and signal if needed. I scout location options that fit your vision, whether it's just the two of you on a cliffside or a space with hiding places for your loved ones. I share a photo guide of where best to stand and have tips to help you slyly prepare both of you to be camera-ready, too!
(Curious as to the kinds of places I recommend? Here is a list of the 13 best places to propose in Sedona as a teaser.)
With all of the preparation, the proposal itself is a breeze!
My approach to proposals includes multiple cameras to capture close-ups with all of the emotion, wider views to remember the setting you so carefully chose, and raw video for an unfiltered memory. You'd be surprised how covert that many tripods can be! All you two will notice is each other. :)
After the "yes", we celebrate with a newly-engaged-couple's portrait session. My style is a mix of candid and editorial moments to give you space to soak in the joy while also capturing stunning memories for sharing the good news.
Speaking of sharing, I include a gallery preview within twenty-four hours so you don't have to wait a minute more to tell everyone you know! Your full gallery is available within six weeks and makes for fantastic Save-the-Date's.
All proposal sessions include up to an hour of photography coverage with options for drone footage, film photography, and more involved adventures. I also offer custom wedding pricing for all proposal clients.
Proposal pricing starts at $600.
If this approach sounds like the proposal of your dreams, seize the day.
