5 Reasons You Should Hire a Surprise Proposal Photographer

Trust me. You need help Proposing in New Orleans.

Proposing in New Orleans is not for the faint of heart.


So you’re planning on proposing and aren’t sure if you should hire a surprise proposal photographer. You’re not alone! While working as a New Orleans Surprise Proposal Photographer over the last 8 years, I’ve encountered plenty of people who were on the fence. They were ready to pop the question but they weren’t sure if a photographer was right for them or if they needed help planning.

But then they learned they hadn’t just stumbled upon a photographer but they’d found a Surprise Proposal Expert! Here are five reasons they all decided that hiring a Proposal Expert was a great idea (and what they had to say about it!)

1. Peace of Mind

A surprise marriage proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. This may be the first time you’ve ever proposed- but it’s not my first rodeo! By hiring a Proposal Expert, you’re giving yourself the peace of mind that everything will go off without a hitch.

Instead of flying blindly into the moment, you’ll take a knee with every aspect worked out ahead of time (except for the words you plan to say- those are all you!) You’ll get to enjoy one of the most memorable, emotional moments of your relationship without any stress. If things go sideways before the big moment? I’m there on the scene ready to put out the fire before you even smell smoke.

Don said “Lady was excellent all around with our surprise proposal. Easy to work with, quick on her feet (her quick thinking helped save our proposal from conflicting with a kids birthday party) and the pictures came out great. Highly recommended!”


2. Create the Proposal of their dreams

You know the love of your life better than anyone. And you know exactly what kind of proposal is going to sweep them off their feet. When you work with a Proposal Expert, you get to carefully craft the proposal of your love’s dreams without having to iron out all of the details on your own.

No need to scour the web for florists, musicians, horse-drawn-carriages, picnic supplies, or any other element you want to help make the moment special. Whether you want to go big or keep it simple, I’ve got you covered.

William said “I was apprehensive about photographing our proposal initially. Then a friend introduced me to Lady- and she transformed my opinions completely. She was Incredibly thorough, walked the spot in advance, helped me with being in the perfect spot, and when the day came she did an amazing job- my partner had no idea she was even there until I pointed her out. The pictures are amazing, SHE is amazing, and if you want to capture your special moment- Lady is the only photographer you need to talk to!!”


3. It goes by FAST

The average proposal only lasts 30 seconds with many people only spending 10 or 15 seconds on their knee! While the moment zips by (many proposers have described the feeling of “blacking out” in the moment and not even realizing if their person said yes or not!) you’ll be able to rest assured that there are beautiful photographs being captured to save the experience forever.

Even if the excitement of the moment makes the memories a little hazy, you’ll have stunning photos to fill in the gaps.

Edward said “I worked with Lady to plan and photograph my New Orleans proposal as an out-of-towner and the resulting photos were fantastic, of course. It was so relieving and helpful to have someone like Lady who does everything she can to take as much stress and uncertainty out of this important day. I would 100% recommend her services to anyone planning a New Orleans proposal (or any other photography needs).”


4. You aren’t just getting a photographer, you’re getting a planner and a local guide

The majority of my clients are from out of town. Many of them have never even visited New Orleans before! When working with me, you not only get incredible photography and expert proposal planning, but you also get access to a lifetime of local New Orleans knowledge.

I’ll give you the insider scoop on how to enjoy your visit to New Orleans (and how to avoid getting hustled down on Jackson Square!)

Jamilah said “Lady was phenomenal! From start to finish, she went the extra mile to make sure that my surprise proposal was unique and memorable. Lady is extremely resourceful and knowledgeable about New Orleans. She made solid recommendations on locations and vendors. Being from out of town, I never felt uneasy only coming into town the day before the proposal.”


5. Your new fiancé will be happy you did

One of my favorite parts of a proposal is when the proposee puts all the aspects of the surprise together. They’ve said yes, the ring is on, and then the questions begin. “Does my mom know?” “Is that why you were acting so weird?” “Oh so THAT’S why we absolutely HAD to check out this one spot!”

The joy of the moment continues while they piece together everything you did to make the surprise special for them. Not only will they be overjoyed that you asked them to marry you but they’ll feel even more wonderful knowing all of the steps you took getting to that moment.

Ashley said “If you’re wondering on whether or not to book Lady, here’s your sign JUST DO IT! She worked with my fiancé for months for our destination surprise proposal in NOLA with a my crazy group of 20+ friends and family in tow! I was completely clueless and surprised and that is largely because Lady is a Grade A bonafide rockstar! If you work with her, you won’t regret it!”


You get one shot to nail this moment for the person you love. I’m here to help you go that extra mile to make sure it’s perfect. You’ll get a photographer, a planner, and a local guide all rolled into one!
