We’ve photographed over 200 proposals in the past decade — and no two have ever been the same. During yours, we want the experience to feel like a date: organic, romantic, and totally natural. No stiff posing. No awkward moments. Just the two of you, in your element.
Our style focuses on quality over quantity — clean, timeless portraits filled with emotion, beautiful light, and dreamy film-inspired tones. With a relaxed, thoughtful approach, we’ll capture your proposal in a way that feels true to who you are.
WHAT TO EXPECT –
Once your date is officially reserved, we’ll figure out the best way to stay in touch—whether that’s by call, text, or email—whatever feels easiest for you. Some clients even add us to their contacts as a familiar name so nothing looks out of the ordinary. That way, if an unexpected message comes through, there’s no reason to raise any eyebrows!
Now, let’s get to the fun part!
WHAT TO EXPECT –
Once your date is officially reserved, we’ll help you select the perfect location for your proposal. The Lowcountry Coast is full of stunning backdrops—from lush, blooming gardens and iconic moss-draped oaks, to magical beaches, charming cobblestone streets, historic downtown architecture, pastel-colored buildings, and even secluded spots on nearby islands. Whatever your vision, we’ll guide you to a setting that feels just right.
We’ll also make sure to recommend the ideal time of day for the best light, fewer crowds, and even factor in things like closing hours or tide schedules. If you already have a certain vibe or aesthetic in mind, just let us know—we’re happy to suggest a few locations that match your style.
Now, let’s get to planning this unforgettable moment!
WHAT TO EXPECT –
We know choosing what to wear for your proposal can be a little tricky—especially when it’s a surprise and you’re not sure what your partner will be wearing. But here’s a good rule of thumb: aim to complement, not match.
For example, if you're wearing a navy suit with a pastel blue and pink plaid shirt, your partner would look amazing in a soft blue dress that picks up those tones. You want your outfits to feel coordinated without being too “on the nose.”
Avoid neon colors, loud patterns, or clothing with large logos—they tend to distract in photos and can take away from the elegant, timeless feel of the moment.
WHAT TO EXPECT –
Beaches: Consider loafers you can easily slip off or go barefoot for a naturally romantic look. Rolled pant cuffs or tailored linen trousers work beautifully in this setting.
Gardens & Parks: Classic dress shoes or loafers work well, but keep in mind you may be walking on grass or uneven paths. Opt for something with a sturdy sole and avoid anything that might sink into the ground.
Historic Downtown & Cobblestone Streets: Choose refined footwear like leather dress shoes, oxfords, or boots with a firm sole to navigate uneven surfaces gracefully. This keeps the overall look elevated while ensuring you're comfortable and confident when the moment comes.
WHAT TO EXPECT –
Depending on the package you select, the next step is one of our favorites—talking about her favorite things. From colors, flowers, foods, and desserts, to any allergies or meaningful details you think we should know, we’ll gather it all. These little things make a big impact.
Every couple we work with is different, and that’s what makes this so special. By learning what she loves and what’s meaningful to your relationship, we’re able to create a proposal experience that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
It’s not just about planning the moment—it’s about making it feel personal, thoughtful, and unforgettable. We love getting to know our couples and helping bring their story to life in a way that feels genuine and so you.
WHAT TO EXPECT –
After your proposal, the magic doesn’t end—it lives on through your photos. You’ll receive a sneak peek within just a few days, perfect for sharing that “she said yes!” moment with your closest family and friends.
Your full gallery will be delivered within a week of your session date through a private, easy-to-use online gallery. From there, you can download your images, save your favorites, and share the joy with loved ones near and far.
If you’d like to turn your story into something tangible, we’d love to create a custom-designed album—an heirloom you can hold in your hands and revisit the moment you asked her to be yours.
WHAT TO EXPECT –
We love helping our clients turn once-in-a-lifetime moments into meaningful keepsakes. From hand-painted, calligraphy-adorned champagne bottles to wall-mounted canvas prints perfect for your home, these are more than just images—they’re memories made tangible.
We also offer beautifully handcrafted albums that preserve your proposal story in a way that can be held, shared, and passed down for generations.
This season of life deserves to be remembered—and these keepsakes make sure it always will be.
WHAT TO EXPECT –

PERFECT! Had such an amazing experience with Laura and Rachel! Proposals are nerve wracking to start, add in the fact that this was our first time to Charleston and it was storming all day. But Laura and Rachel worked with me all day to provide potential alternatives to make this the perfect proposal. My now fiancé was THRILLED and over the moon! They did such a great job and went above and beyond. Thank you for everything! 10/10 recommend!

Join the club—most people feel that way! Unless you've spent time in front of a camera professionally (or secretly moonlight as a model), it's totally normal to feel a little stiff or unsure at first. Honestly, we take photos for a living, and even we have no idea what to do with our hands when someone points a lens at us.
But here’s the good news: you don’t need to know what you’re doing. That’s our job! We’ll guide you with natural prompts and light direction, and before you know it, you’ll be laughing, moving, and actually having fun. The best photos always come from those relaxed, in-between moments—awkwardness and all.

Ah, the wild card—weather. We totally get that no one dreams of popping the question under storm clouds, so here’s how we handle it:
If blue skies are a must for your proposal, we’ll simply reschedule. We typically make that call the morning of or just a few hours before the session, depending on the forecast.
If we’re facing unsafe conditions like lightning, high winds, or hail, we’ll need to reschedule—no exceptions. Your safety (and ours!) comes first.
But if it’s just a little overcast or a light drizzle, sometimes that moody sky adds a bit of magic. We’ve even had couples embrace the moment with a clear umbrella and some spontaneous fun—and honestly, those can make for the most romantic, cinematic photos.
Whatever the skies bring, we’ll be flexible and keep your experience stress-free.
