Bouquet of Flowers
Add an extra touch of romance with a gorgeous seasonal bouquet, ready to hand over after the big moment, or as a surprise prop in your photos.

Sunshine Coast Surprise Proposal & Engagement Photos Made Easy
Yay, you’ve found your person! The one you want to spend your life with. That alone is massive and deserves to be celebrated. But now you’re probably thinking… how the heck do I pull off the perfect proposal without them catching on?!
Planning a surprise proposal can feel a little overwhelming, finding the right location, keeping it a secret, figuring out the timing, the words, the ring, the photographer (hi!), it’s a lot. But don’t stress, you’re not doing this alone. I’ve helped heaps of people plan their dream proposal and I’ll guide you through every step.
From helping you choose the perfect spot and mapping out a plan, to being there early on the day to capture it all, I’ve got your back. Having a professional in your corner means you can relax, knowing everything will run smoothly and the moment will be captured beautifully. You get to focus on what really matters, asking the biggest question of your life.
Step by step guide on how to plan a surprise proposal
1. Pick a date
Start by choosing a date that makes sense for both of you. Is there a special anniversary or meaningful date coming up? Or maybe you want to pop the question on a spontaneous weekend away? It could be part of a holiday, birthday surprise, or “just because” moment, whatever suits your vibe.
2. Think about the ‘cover story’
Planning a weekend getaway, a beach walk, a sunset picnic, or a cute brunch date is a great way to keep the proposal a surprise. You’ll want to do something that feels natural and fun, so they’re not suspicious! Distraction is key.
3. Get in touch with me
Once you’ve got a rough idea, reach out and we’ll book it in. We’ll have a secret planning session where I’ll help you brainstorm ideas, scout the perfect location, and work out all the details, from timing to where I’ll be hiding to get the shot.
4. Plan the proposal flow
We’ll go over exactly how it will go down so you feel confident and calm on the day. I’ll arrive 15 minutes early and be ready in position, so I don’t miss a moment, the nerves, the surprise, the joy!
5. Add some magic with extras
Want to go all out? We can include some beautiful touches like:
A champagne pop to celebrate
A styled picnic setup or grazing box
A bouquet of fresh flowers
Travel to a remote or meaningful location
A content creator to capture behind-the-scenes moments
Or even dinner booked at your fave restaurant after
6. Capture the glow
After they say yes! (which they totally will!), we’ll ease into a relaxed engagement shoot. No stiff posing, just natural, love-soaked moments that celebrate this amazing new chapter you’re stepping into together.
Sound like something you’d love to do? I’m here to help every step of the way. Let’s make it happen!
