Planning tips
Planning your coverage in South Dakota
Scout the proposal location
Choose a spot with good light and a simple way to get your partner there. Send us photos or a map pin, and agree on a clear signal so we know when it's happening.
Plan for the right time of day
Late afternoon light flatters outdoor proposals. Avoid busy times at popular landmarks if you want a clear background.
Book 2 hours for a proposal
The 2-hour minimum covers setup, the proposal and a portrait session afterward. Engagement parties are usually 2 to 3 hours.
Add video for the moment itself
Video captures what you said and your partner's reaction. A second videographer or photographer can film a close angle and a wide angle at the same time.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
