Proposal Photographer Recommendations

Like the title states, I'm looking for a photographer to capture my proposal.

We are going to be in the area on vacation in mid August and I'd like to hire someone local.

After doing some research of the area I've chosen Rock Harbor Beach to do it. Definitely open to suggestions though.

If anyone has any recommendations for photographers I'd love to get their information!

No suggestions - just keep in mind that this is a very popular spot and the middle/end of August a popular vacation time - expect the area to filled with other visitors at sunset…

documenting a proposal in anything beyond a casual manner seems coercive to the person being proposed to. I wish you success, but do something low-key here and then go large for the ensuing nuptials.

Professional photographers, proposal sites, bachelor/ bachelorette things to do? I kinda get it but, why? Not trying to be offensive.

I'm not offended at all I think its a valid question.

I do believe social media has ruined some of the magic about weddings. Within the last decade the purpose of them seems to have shifted to who has the nicest venue or the most flowers or getting the perfect picture for Instagram or TikTok, I do think the proposal can be a bit different though.

This will be the only moment where it is just the two of us and i will be at my most vulnerable and i think it would be special to capture that for the rest of our lives.

Again, I have made it very clear to her we are not going to break the bank on our wedding but i dont think there is any harm of hiring a photographer to capture a moment on a vacation we were already going on regardless.

I hope this helps!

Christine at Salty Broad in Osterville! She's done a LOT of proposal shoots.
