Fortunately, Austin isn't a very rainy city, and whenever it does rain, it usually passes quickly. Most proposal locations can be altered to be under an overhang, inside or just outside rolling with the punches.

Austin is a fairly casual town, but depending on the location you choose, you could have the chance to dress up super nice.

Clothing should be of the same formality and accent the location. Meaning, it's hard to make sense of someone dressed in sneakers with someone in formal attire at a park. Consider dressing up a little extra in whatever way is comfortable for you two.

Proposals with me are simple and smooth. Over emails, I'll guide you towards a good spot and even offer a few scenario/cover stories to tell your partner.

In large public areas like parks, nature centers, art museums, etc. I HIGHLY recommend a little white lie about booking a photography session with me so I can make sure no one walks in front of me, and you know exactly where to go.

After I capture the moment she said yes (or just lots of crying and nodding), we'll move into a few cute, casual portraits. A mini, mini engagement session if you will. I'll pose, direct, laugh with you, and hustle my booty off (potentially tripping on things) to show off the new bling and a couple of photos with your friends & family if they're joining!

In total, we spend around 60-90 minutes together on the day of, not to mention the countless back and forth with all the planning and strategizing!

You can exchange or return an engagement ring but at the end of the day, we can't recreate this moment. Choose a photographer whose images speak to you with excellent reviews.

If that's me, great! if that's someone else, that's ok!

All I care about is how you'll feel when you look at these images 10, 20, 30, 50 years from now.

I want you to be happy with your proposal photographer.
