Frequently Asked Questions
How do you stay hidden during the proposal?
We use long-range lenses and blend into the surroundings, often posing as tourists or parkgoers. Our experience allows us to capture intimate moments without being noticed.
What if the weather is bad?
We always have a backup plan. If outdoor locations are untenable, we’ll work with you to find suitable indoor alternatives or reschedule if necessary.
How long does it take to receive the photos?
You’ll receive a selection of preview images within 48 hours. The full, edited gallery will be ready within 2-3 weeks of your proposal.
Can we do an engagement shoot after the proposal?
Absolutely! Many couples choose to continue with a short engagement session immediately after the proposal, or we can schedule a separate shoot at a later date.
Do you help with proposal planning?
Yes, we’re happy to offer suggestions for romantic locations and help coordinate timing to ensure perfect lighting for your photos.
What areas do you cover?
We provide nationwide coverage across the UK, including major cities like London, Manchester, and Edinburgh, as well as countryside and coastal locations.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for popular dates or locations. However, we understand that proposals can sometimes be last-minute, so don’t hesitate to check our availability for shorter notice bookings.
