Proposals &
Engagements.
Every moment.
The question. The yes. The walk around afterward when you're still shaking and internally screaming. I'm here to document it all.
Proposal
photography
You've thought of the perfect moment. I'll help you flesh out any details and keep your surprise as I document that one big question. Here's how the surprise stays safe:
- — All planning happens between just the two of us with vague subject lines (I play it safe)
- — I arrive early, position myself before you get there, and maybe even act like an eager photographing tourist...
- — After the yes, we continue into engagement photos while you're still riding the high
Reach out and I'll share the rest - I can't give it all away here.

Officially engaged! Now let's document your engaged era - in a place that means something, doing things you normally do.
- — Custom planned session with your comfort and dynamics in mind. Every couple is unique, so is each session.
- — The beach, the bookstore, the coffee shop you go to every weekend - wherever you feel comfortable.
- — Dogs are always welcome.

"Beth helped my fiancé plan an incredible engagement surprise in San Diego! The moment itself comes with a lot of emotions and overwhelm, but she made the whole moment so peaceful for us."
Things people
always ask.
How do we keep the proposal a complete surprise?
I can't reveal all of my secrets in case a partner is reading this too - but there's no clear email or text evidence of who I am or that you're working with a photographer. I've done this many times and I take the surprise seriously.
Can we do both the proposal and engagement photos in one session?
Yes! We capture the proposal moment, then transition into an engagement session. If you want to go this route, I recommend booking at least an hour. If you decide to have two separate sessions, I offer a bundled rate when booking together.
Do I need to know how to pose?
No! Most of my couples are nervous about this part then end up feeling totally comfortable. I give you things to do - walk here, whisper something, hold their hand, you get the gist - and capture your dynamic. You'll see my portfolio doesn't have tons of photos of people smiling at camera, and that's because you and your partner don't just stare and smile. You interact, and that's what I love to document.
Can our dogs come?
Dogs are always welcome. Let me know before so I can A) ensure the locations are dog friendly and B) bring treats. I also offer a dog watching add-on if you want them in some shots but not all of them.
Do you travel outside San Diego?
Always. I travel anywhere - reach out and tell me where you're thinking, and I'll get that carry-on ready.
