We are extremely happy with the finished product and our friends were all asking how the photos came out so good! Would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to do a secret proposal around Charleston. I’m from Boston and was not familiar with the area at all and Dennis helped guide me through this stressful moment. 10/10!"

Proposal Planning Questions — Answered

What if they’re late?

We provide a 15-minute grace period for all sessions, and your coverage time starts when you get down on one knee. After 15 minutes, we won’t leave, but a late fee may apply. The way we help clients plan their proposals makes delays very unlikely.

What if it rains?

It’s hard to predict the weather in advance, so there’s no need to worry too early. As the date gets closer, we’ll review the forecast and discuss options. We always have a backup plan, and cloudy weather is actually great for photos. To learn more, visit this article: https://charlestonphotoart.com/the-best-weather-for-a-photo-session/

Will they notice you?

The proposal is planned in a way that even if your partner sees me nearby, they won’t suspect I’m your photographer until the moment it happens.

Can friends hide nearby?

Yes, they can. However, I strongly recommend keeping them hidden until after the proposal so they don’t accidentally block the view or interrupt the moment.

How soon do we get the photos?

Sneak peeks are delivered as soon as the next day. The full gallery is typically ready within a few weeks, depending on your collection.

What if I’m nervous?

That’s completely normal. With our detailed planning, guidelines, maps, and videos, you’ll feel prepared, confident, and ready for the big moment.
