Surprise Proposal Photography in Palm Springs & Joshua Tree
Coverage That Matches Your Vision
Every couple approaches proposals differently.
Some want the moment captured cleanly and efficiently. Others want time — time to settle in, be present, and tell the full story leading up to the “yes.”
That’s why our proposal packages are intentionally designed on a spectrum:
For couples who want just the proposal and a few photos afterward
For couples who want more coverage and storytelling
For couples who want a fully planned, elevated experience
No matter your style, we have something that fits.
The Last Minute Yes
Surprise Proposal Package — $495
The Last Minute Yes package is created for couples who want beautiful, stress-free surprise proposal photographywithout unnecessary extras.
This package focuses on what matters most: the moment you ask, the reaction, and a short portrait session immediately after. It’s ideal for Palm Springs surprise proposals, Joshua Tree engagements, and destination couples who want a simple, professional experience handled with care.
Package Includes
1 hour of professional photography coverage
30+ edited high-resolution images delivered via private online gallery
2 sneak-peek edited photos delivered within 48 hours
All unedited photos included (typically 500–800 images)
Location scouting included
Consultation call to align on your vision
GPS coordinates sent on the day of your proposal so you know exactly where we’ll be
This package is perfect for couples who want the magic of a surprise proposal captured cleanly, confidently, and without extended undercover planning.
The Undercover Yes
Surprise Proposal During a Couples Photoshoot — $695
The Undercover Yes is designed for couples who want the proposal to feel natural, relaxed, and genuinely unexpected — without hiding the fact that a photoshoot is happening.
In this experience, your partner knows you’re doing a couples photoshoot. The surprise is not the photographer — it’s what you’ve planned.
We begin with a guided couples session, allowing your partner to feel comfortable in front of the camera while we capture natural, candid moments together. At a pre-planned point in the session, the photoshoot seamlessly transitions into the proposal. There are no giveaways, no awkward pauses, and no forced moments — just a smooth, emotional shift into the “yes.”
This approach is especially popular for Palm Springs surprise proposals and Joshua Tree proposal photography, where couples often plan photoshoots as part of a getaway or special trip.
Package Includes
2 hours of professional photography coverage
50 edited high-resolution images delivered via private online gallery
All unedited photos included (typically 800–1,100 images)
5 sneak-peek edited photos delivered within 48 hours

1 print at 12×18
2 prints at 11×14
2 prints at 8×11
Timeline planning so the proposal unfolds naturally
Clear communication and cues on the day of your shoot
A visual storyboard to help you visualize how the session flows into the proposal
This package is ideal for couples who want more coverage, more storytelling, and a proposal that feels intentional rather than rushed.
