Engagement Parties & Proposals in San Jose: photography & video

Whether you're planning a surprise proposal or celebrating with family and friends after saying yes, MacroSnaps photographers and videographers can cover it. For proposals, we work quietly in the background so the moment stays a surprise. For engagement parties, we cover the couple, the toasts and the first time both families celebrate together, including any traditions your families bring to the occasion.

San Jose is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 1 million people. Whether your engagement party or proposal is at Hayes Mansion, The Tech Interactive or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules.

Proposals depend on planning. We agree on the exact location, a signal and where we'll be standing, often posing as a passer-by, so we're ready the moment you go down on one knee. Afterward, we take time for portraits of the newly engaged couple and close-up photos of the ring. Engagement parties are more relaxed, with candid photos, family portraits and speeches.

For a typical engagement party or proposal, clients in San Jose book about 2 hours of photography ($350) and 2 hours of videography ($500). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so San Jose costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
