Looking for a local, professional photographer to capture your surprise proposal? Good news; You came to the right place!
At Photography by Kim Angelo, we specialize in capturing genuine reactions, emotional moments, and the excitement of saying yes. With over 16 years of beach photography under our belts, you can focus on the proposal while we take care of capturing the memories.
You’ve picked the ring, planned the perfect spot, and worked up the courage to ask. Now, make sure you have photographs of the moment she says yes.
Our surprise proposal photography captures the excitement as it unfolds, from the look on her face when she realizes what’s happening to your first embrace. We want to make sure every couple never forgets this big moment in their lives.
Whether you spend your summers down the shore, vacation here every year, or are planning a special trip together, a beach proposal is a meaningful way to start your next chapter. Add in a professional proposal photographer, and you’ll have beautiful images to remember this moment for the rest of your lives.
If you are excited about a beach proposal, but unsure which beach to do it on, we got you covered! We have helped plan surprise proposals on the beaches of Cape May, Stone Harbor, Avalon, Ocean City, Brigantine, Margate, and several others along the Jersey Shore over the past 16 years.
Every beach has something special, but you can’t go wrong with Cape May for the nature and the beautiful lighthouse in the background. We also love Brigantine as it is a bit quieter and can feel more intimate. Stone Harbor and Avalon are great too because many couples have fond memories of vacations here or dates they took together along the beach or in the town. Regardless of the beach you choose, that location will become special to you for the rest of your life.
Keeping a proposal a surprise takes planning, especially when you want a photographer there to capture it. We work with you ahead of time to coordinate the location, timing, and plan for capturing the moment without your significant other suspecting a thing.
We have a few tricks up our sleeves to keep the surprise intact. Dan might blend in with beachgoers, relaxing in a beach chair with a book or sitting under an umbrella, or we can arrange a photo session that starts out looking like a completely different occasion. When you drop to one knee, we’ll be ready to capture the reaction, the excitement, and the moment she says yes.
We’ve designed our approach to make the experience feel natural and stress-free. She gets the surprise of a lifetime, and you both get to relive the moment through photographs that capture how it really happened.
You have the ring, picked the location, and have your speech prepared, but still need a photographer? Give us a call, and we will help you put the finishing touches on the perfect proposal.
Contact us today and we’ll start planning your perfect proposal session!
Our sessions start at $500 for a 30-minute session, however we also offer extended sessions as needed.
Typically we blend in with beachgoers by sitting in a beach chair with an umbrella or a book. Sometimes we also disguise the shoot as a family session, and then transition it into a proposal session without your significant other realizing it until you are down on one knee!
Golden hour is the best time for lighting, but we can accommodate any time on the beach (weather permitting).
We will do our best to reschedule if weather interferes with the shoot. We will monitor the weather and adjust to a clear weather window if needed.
At least a month before the planned proposal is ideal, but more notice is always best to make sure we have availability and time to plan the perfect proposal session.
Dan Angelo is our lead couples photographer and specializes in proposals, couples, and family sessions. He has captured proposals on beaches all along the Jersey Shore and can’t wait to work with you to capture yours!
