"[We] did...one of Donna's tent sessions and could not be happier. The photos came out AMAZING and we got them back even quicker than we expected...If you are considering booking Donna, DO IT! She made the experience so fun - we left our sessions feeling like we were leaving hanging out with a friend."

I knoooow how excited you're going to be to see the magic we made! With that in mind, my goal is to edit up a hand full of sneak peeks to send your way within 24-48 hours of the wedding! That way the photo you use to announce your wedding isn't a grainy cell shot, but a beautiful photo from one of the many moments of your day.
First off, if your partner has been hinting that they would like a photographer present, then you really can't go wrong!
Not only is hiring a photographer a great way to document the memories of such an exciting moment in your relationship, it's also a great planning resource for you to lean into.
When I help plan proposals I help with what locations would best suit the moment, potential activities to include or plan around, how to ensure they're dressed nicely and maybe have their nails done (if that's important) as well as backup plans when the original plans aren't going to work.
If you need help with any ideas on how to personalize the moment, or how to make it non-suspicious, or anything along those lines, I'm here to help!
Why hire a proposal photographer?
"Every interaction we’ve had so far with Donna has been amazing! She’s fun and professional! We are AKWARD! And she did a great job helping us get great photos that don’t look posed or forced! Highly recommend!!!!"

Let's get the relevant info out of the way: at 5'2", short and small, I've always been real good at hide-and-go-seek because I can hide just about anywhere hah! So no matter where your proposal adventure takes us, I should be good to go and will be super stealth!
It's probably no secret, but I'm kind of obsessed with my job and my work, which not only means I approach every session with enthusiasm and excitement, but I also prioritize my couples experiences above all so that you also have an INCREDIBLE time!
Photosessions should feel like a fun date and speak to your relationship and I always channel that when I'm planning and photographing.
Relationships are fun, messy, weird, silly, romantic, sexy, and everything in between and I think your photos should 100% showcase those nuances and qualities of your relationship!
I'm here for all the couples who aren't afraid to be themselves, embrace the weird and just have a good time.
If that sounds like something you're down for then you're in the right place!
Hey, I'm Donna

Questions:
How soon do we get the photos?
Can I include kids/family/friends/pets?
Will you help me choose a location?
How can we make this a surprise?
It really depends from couple to couple! If you've been planning to get photos done already and your partner isn't suspicious you two can plan just a regular photoshoot together and then you and I can chat on the side.
If your partner is likely to get suspicious then we'll have to plan it around something you've already got in the books or I can go incognito to play paparazzi for your somewhere haha!

100%! Every relationship is unique so I want to help you figure out a location that would be special, whether it already holds sentimental value, or is somewhere new and exciting you want to go together!
Answer:
How soon do we get the photos?
Are you willing to travel with us to a destination?
Do you offer prints and albums?
How many images are included in the packages?
If including kids/family/friends/pets or all of the above would make your proposal that much more special to you and your partner, then absolutely! I highly recommend only including people that are special to you, truly support your relationship, and are good at keeping secrets ;) And if they're not good at keeping secrets then loop them in at the last minute haha!
