As the nation’s leading engagement photography company, we are sharing our five top tips.

1. Time Accordingly

Give yourself ample time and don’t try to plan too much into one afternoon. The last thing you want to do is be suspicious or rushing your partner. Also, don’t try to force a specific day if there are other commitments/ things that can go wrong. You want this to be as smooth as possible

2. Hire a Professional

Don’t rely on a friend or an iPhone to capture the perfect shot. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment and photos you’re going to treasure for a lifetime.

3. Keep it Simple

It’s natural to want to make it as romantic and fancy as possible but don’t make it too complicated. Sometimes the simple approach is the most romantic and the best backdrop. Plus, your partner doesn’t care about the luxury but about the getting down on one knee part.

4. Stay within Budget

It’s crucial to stay within your means and don’t overspend. The expenses are only just beginning and the wedding will be coming sooner than later!

5. Don’t Rush it

It’s normal to get nervous and feel the need to do it right away. The ring can feel like it’s burning through your pocket! But it’s important to remember there is no time limit and to take your time. Enjoy each second and experience the whole event fully.

While both scenarios are understandable, it’s important to remember that instead of trying to picture what a proposal should look like, it’s more important to think about the end goal, the moment your partner says “Yes!” So, forget what’s on the movies, what people you know have done, and all the other preconceived notions. Just think about what’s important to your partner and what you know based off experience. To give you some ideas, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite romantic ways to propose from real proposals by real people, that we’ve had the pleasure of capturing.

1. Add a Musician

Paul wanted to serenade his way into Kelsey’s heart and arranged for a guitarist to take on the disguise of a street performer. Upon suggesting to take a stroll through Centennial Park in Nashville, Paul and Kelsey encountered the guitarist, who coincidently started playing songs with special meanings to them. Filled with delight, Kelsey was distracted by the musician, which gave Paul the perfect moment to get down on one knee and surprise her with a diamond ring.

2. Make it a Trip

Make your proposal last an entire weekend and plan a romantic weekend getaway. Josh planned an exciting trip to Las Vegas with Melissa, and coordinated with our photographer to plan the picture-perfect moment for him to get down on one knee. The Bellagio Fountain show illuminated Josh’s proposal, and Melissa couldn’t hold back the tears of pure happiness.

3. Add Some Thrill

An engagement proposal doesn’t have to just consist of a romantic dinner or 24 roses. If an adventure or thrill are more of your partner’s thing, how about an exciting helicopter ride? That’s exactly how Olufemi surprised his partner with a diamond ring, right before boarding a helicopter to tour the stunning Miami skyline.

4. Simple Can Be Romantic

In a world filled with too many complications that we have no control over, why do we feel that for something to be great, it has to be complicated? Nuno disagreed, and chose a calming and picturesque beach for his proposal to Becky in San Diego. He set up a heartwarming backyard-like setting covered in roses and memorabilia from their relationship, and when Becky thought the day couldn’t get any better, he asked her to marry him!

5. Include Friends and Family

Devin wanted to throw in some familiar faces into his proposal to Ashley and coordinated with all of their family and friends. He planned for all them to be discreetly hidden nearby the proposal location in New York City, and after Ashley screamed “YES!”, they came out of hiding and joined in the celebration.

These are just a few of our top advice, but if you’re looking for daily inspiration, make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram! However, at the end of the day, what makes a proposal perfect consist of only two factors- you and your partner. And we’ll be there to candidly capture every moment.
