What the service includes
Before the date, Ed helps you think through the location, approach, timing, sightline, and a backup idea. He arrives early, stays unobtrusive, photographs the proposal, and makes room for portraits once the surprise has landed.
Choose a setting that fits the two of you
Iconic views are only one option. The right setting may be a bridge, city overlook, garden, coast, hotel, or another place that already means something to you. Browse the proposal location guides or compare the current photography collections.
Common questions
Can Ed help choose a proposal location?
Yes. Share what you want the setting to feel like, how private it should be, and how much walking works for you. Ed can help narrow the options and shape a practical plan.
Will my partner know he is the photographer?
The plan is built around a discreet arrival and natural positioning. The exact approach depends on the location and the story you want to tell.
What if the location is crowded?
Discuss a primary position and a backup before the date. On the day, Ed can adjust the timing or sightline so the plan remains calm and believable.
How quickly will the photos arrive?
The curated online gallery is typically delivered within two weeks after the proposal.

A perfect plan is not required to ask about your date.
