PROPOSAL PHOTOGRAPHY · ROCHESTER, NY & FINGER LAKES
Not just
one moment.
Your forever.
You've planned everything - the location, the words, the ring. The one thing most people forget is someone to actually document it. I've been there. I shot my own proposal on film and I know exactly what that moment means. Let me be there for yours.
Starting at $450 · Rochester & Finger Lakes · Completely discreet
WHAT TO EXPECT
The one shot
you can't miss
Proposal photography is different from everything else I do. There's no second take, no "let's try that again." I scout the location in advance, position myself out of sight, and capture the whole thing as it unfolds - naturally, without interrupting the moment.
Everything is shot on film alongside digital. You'll have the digital gallery within two weeks and the film frames shortly after. The ones that matter most will be obvious.

My family has served, and I graduated from Ithaca College - so active military, veterans, and IC alumni get $100 off any session. Just mention it when you book. Both communities are meaningful to me and I love to give back.

We Make A Plan
I'll scout the location, figure out positioning, and work out a timing plan with you. You focus on the proposal. I'll handle everything else.
03
The Moment
I'm there early, out of sight, and ready. When it happens I capture everything — the nerves, the question, the yes, the tears, the laugh, all of it.
