Your Frequently Asked Questions Answered
How Far in Advance Should You Book A Proposal Photographer?
This depends on the photographer’s availability and the popularity of the date you’ve chosen. Sometimes, they’ll be able to work on short notice, however, if you’re proposing on Valentine’s Day or Christmas, make sure to contact them at least 2-3 months in advance as they might be booked up already.
How Much Does a Proposal Photographer Cost?
You should expect to invest anywhere between £250 and £600 but this could vary depending on duration, the number of photos, and any travel costs you might need to cover.
How Do You Photograph a Secret Proposal?
You have to blend in with the environment. Are you a random tourist taking photos of the sights? Are you just a hiker trying to take a selfie? Choose your disguise, go undercover, and make sure to bring a decent camera. Or, better still, hire a professional proposal photographer.
What Is the Difference Between Proposal Photos and Engagement Photos?
The element of surprise. If you’re popping the big question, your partner should suspect nothing. When it comes to your engagement shoot, you’re both in control of how you want the session to go.
Is It Normal to Hire a Photographer for a Proposal?
Going back to your best mate Dave and how he fits in with “the element of surprise” … Yeah, we didn’t think so. That’s why it’s not only normal but also much safer to hire a professional who can tag along without catching anyone’s attention.
