For most people, wedding planning starts right after the proposal. But for others it starts before the proposal! Ok maybe not full on wedding planning mode, but if you’re reading this you’re most likely thinking of popping the question soon which technically means you’re doing some planning. Basically my point is there’s a lot that goes into planning a proposal, like where should I propose, when should propose, should I propose in front of family and friends and should I get a photographer for my proposal?
And the answer to that last question is… Yes! You definitely should! There might be some reasons why it might not be the best idea like maybe your soon to be fiancé isn’t a big fan of getting their picture taken or maybe you two have talked about something like this before and they are just not a fan of surprise proposal pictures. But I’m here to tell you all the other reasons why it can be so awesome having a pro photographer do your pictures!
1. You’ll always have that memory
The more obvious one here is you get to look back on those proposal pictures and get to see each others reactions when they said yes! Everything goes by way too fast and you two might forget those little details and with photos you can relive that moment! You’ll have the memory of what you two were wearing and how amazing the scenery was. Maybe even the look of surprise when you got down on one knee. It’s definitely something you’ll want to look back on for years to come.
2. Something to share with the family
What happens next after the proposal? You tell the world! You just got engaged it’s time to call family and friends and of course they’ll want to know everything every single detail from the day and what better way to tell them than with a picture!
3. Actually have a Pro
Of course you can take pictures on your own or have a friend hiding in the bushes waiting for the right moment, but it’s pretty hard to get THE picture. Not to mention all the photo bombers if you plan on doing it in a popular location. Hiring a pro will take the stress off of you (at least for the photo part) and this way you can make sure you are also in the moment. Plus you’ll get great professional quality pictures back. Which can even turn into a bonus engagement shoot!
4. Getting married is a journey
Marriage in general is definitely a journey and where does it start? With the proposal. And once again everything goes by so fast and I mean everything, from the proposal, the time being engaged, and the actual wedding or elopement. Why not have the best pictures of where the journey started! It all starts here.
5. You won’t regret it
Ever met someone that said they regretted hiring a professional photographer for their proposal? Probably not. Trust us, you’ll love having these pictures and your soon to be fiancé will also love them! Something that will always remind them of where it all began.
