Book Before December 1: Why Our Proposal & Engagement Photography Packages Are Evolving — and What This Means for You
Beginning December 1, our engagement and proposal photography packages will evolve to reflect the elevated level of planning, execution, and deliverables we now provide to clients across Southern California. What was once a standard photo session has become a fully coordinated experience involving timeline strategy, scouting guidance, permit assistance, backup planning for weather or crowds, and detailed execution logistics. Starting December 1, all packages will include full access to every unedited high-resolution image (typically 500–800+), an increase in final edited photos, additional professional prints, and unlimited planning calls. This update solidifies our commitment to not only capturing your proposal or engagement beautifully, but ensuring everything leading to that moment is seamlessly executed. Book before December 1 to lock in current pricing.
Over the past year, proposals and engagement sessions have evolved far beyond typical photo coverage. Today, each one requires detailed planning, coordinated timelines, location scouting, weather and crowd defense strategies, permit coordination, cover story development, and in some cases—full contingency routes prepared to protect the surprise.
Our role has expanded accordingly. We’ve grown from photographers into strategists, planners, and problem-solvers — ensuring that no matter what happens on the day, the story still unfolds.
Beginning December 1, our Proposal & Engagement Photography Packages will officially evolve to reflect this increased level of planning, execution, and tangible deliverables.
➡️ If you’re planning to propose this holiday season or in early 2026, now is the time to lock in current pricing and secure your planning window.

Why We’re Updating Our Packages
What used to be a simple photography session now rivals full experience coordination. A typical session today involves:
Customized planning calls with timeline development
Permit guidance and coordination recommendations
Location scouting and environment assessment
GPS map pin drops and minute-by-minute execution direction
Surprise defense measures (cover story planning, distraction sequences)
Backup strategies for weather or setbacks
Sneak peek gallery within the first 24 hours in most cases
Because our involvement now mirrors event-level detail, pricing will update beginning December 1.
Previously, only our highest-tier packages included access to all unedited images. Starting December 1, every package will include full access to all unedited high-resolution photos (typically 500–800+), in addition to the edited selections. This reflects our confidence in what we deliver and our commitment to giving clients everything captured—not just the final cut.
What’s Being Added Starting December 1
Every Proposal & Engagement Package will now include:
Full gallery access to all unedited high-resolution images (typically 500–800+)
Increased number of fully edited final photos in every tier
Additional physical prints included across all packages
Unlimited planning calls, ensuring full alignment and confidence before the big moment
Permit and venue logistics support, including guidance when approvals are required
Expanded planning involvement, including scouting strategy (when feasible) and complete backup contingency planning
Ongoing 24-hour sneak peek delivery in most cases, unless formally delayed due to editing load
This update elevates both service and tangible value. More strategy. More final images. More prints. More certainty.
