Thank you for reaching out to me!
Since you have inquired it means you are planning to propose to someone you love! Proposals are such big moments in life and so exciting. Documenting these moments are what inspired me to get into this style of photography. I love being the person who gets to make people happy with memories in the form of photographs.
There are so many incredible photographers out there and choosing one is as much about their portfolio as it is about their personality. My goal with photography is to capture the two of you for who you really are and make you feel confident and comfortable. I am not striving for the perfect photo, I love when the wind blows your hair a little bit out of place. I am focused on documenting your unique love story and what has brought you here!
The Booking Process
Just in case you haven’t booked a lot of professional photographers before this is a little breakdown of how it all works.
STEP 1:
After looking through this guide we can organize a short 15 minute face-time to get to know one another! This is a casual chat so I can hear about your plans for your proposal.
After getting to know one another it is time to make your date official! I will send you a contract to sign and a 50% non refundable deposit to secure your date. The non refundable part is pertaining to if you decide to cancel your session all together. But, if for whatever reason you need to change the date of your session we will just move that deposit to a new date that works for all of us.
STEP 2:
After the contract and invoice are completed the date will be secured and we can work together to create your dream proposal! I will be there to answer any and all of your questions and help you throughout the planning process. This is also a great time to create a pinterest or mood board so I can see exactly what kind of vibe you are dreaming of!
STEP 3:
Time for the big day! I will be there every step of the way capturing the big and small moments and everything in between.
72 hours after your session I will send along 5-10 sneak peek photos. You can share these with anyone and everyone!
STEP 4:
4 weeks after your proposal I will send along your high resolution gallery. I always recommend sitting down to look through the gallery the first time together on a computer (or really anything bigger then an iphone). You can even grab a glass of wine or a cup of tea and take time reminiscing on your proposal. The gallery has a print store connected to it so you can order all of your high quality prints and albums from there. To me, photographs are not complete until they are printed! There is something so special about having a printed copy of your favourite photos to bring you back to memories.

On Mountain Proposal
Do you love skiing and snowboarding with your partner? Have you ever dreamed of proposing at the top of a mountain with incredible views all around you? If so, this package is perfect for you! How it works is we will meet in the village together and I will pretend to be a photographer you have hired for the day to get some photos of you skiing. We will travel up to the peak of either Whistler or Blackcomb together and then while we are getting photos you can ask the question. I love being a part of these proposals because we get to create a connection beforehand and your partner will be completely surprised.
$1500 - 2 Hours
Helicopter Proposal
This is an amazing opportunity to experience flying over the mountains and then proposing in a beautiful private alpine location. We will meet up at the Blackcomb Helicopter pad and I will pretend to be working with their social media and fly up with you. We can then celebrate your engagement in the mountains and get some incredible photos. I even get a 10% discount with Blackcomb Helicopters when you book with me!
1 Hour - $950 | 2 Hours - $1500

Film Photography
$400/ROLL OF FILM
Having a mixture of film and digital is such a fun way to bring a timeless twist into your photos.
These often end up becoming my clients (and my) favourite photos from their day. There's something so special about film that's hard to explain, almost like comparing listening to a song in your headphones vs hearing it come out of an old jukebox.
Rush Gallery Turnaround
$1000
My editing turnaround time is 4 weeks, but if you'd like all your photos back the week of your proposal this is a great option. This is a great way to share all of your images with your friends and family and make them feel like they were there with you. Receive your entire gallery back within 7 calendar days of your proposal date!
FAQ
WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?
Within 2-3 days after the event you will receive web resolution sneak peek images to share online with friends and family. Your full online gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks of the event date.
HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU INCLUDE?
The number of images I deliver varies but I will always include plenty of everything I capture. I deliver a minimum of 50 images an hour but I focus on quality of images rather than a specific amount. It is an honour to capture such a significant milestone in your lives and I put a lot of energy into making sure you can relive the memories fully!
DO YOU GIVE UNEDITED IMAGES?
No, editing is half the magic that goes into creating your photographs!
HOW DO PAYMENT SCHEDULES WORK?
A 50% non-refundable, non-transferable reservation retainer is due at the time of booking. The full balance is due 30 days prior to the ceremony date.
WHAT HAPPENS IN BAD WEATHER?
There is beauty in every weather. Clouds act as a diffuser to create soft, flattering lighting, rain covers the greenery with a glistening sheen, snow transforms the landscape into a winter wonderland and sun provides amazing light to play with.
WHAT DO WE WEAR?
Dress for the weather and check the conditions because they are always changing. Be over prepared and bring more than you need, you can always leave an extra layer with me. Sensible shoes are the number one item to remember! You don’t want to limit yourself to where you can go or your level of comfort because of your choice of footwear.
HOW DO WE FEEL LESS AWKWARD ABOUT HAVING OUR PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN?
My main objective is for you to enjoy your day and feel comfortable! I take the time to get to know you, your sense of humour and favourite things about each other. I will do my best to ignite your confidence until you feel totally relaxed in front of the camera. I will give you easy instructions, guiding you to interact together in ways that allow me to capture candid moments in a flattering style.
