St. Augustine is the Perfect Place to Pop the Big Question!

​
I photograph and help plan surprise proposals in St. Augustine, FL, from beach walks and downtown strolls to sailboats and proposal picnics. Whether you have a full plan in mind or no idea where to start, I’ll help you figure out the details and capture the moment exactly as it unfolds!​

What It’s Like Working With Me
I’m not just showing up with a camera and hoping for the best. I help you plan the proposal in a way that feels natural, relaxed, and true to you!
That usually includes:
​
-
Location recommendations based on privacy, lighting, and timing
-
Help choosing sunrise or sunset
-
A clear plan so you’re not stressed or second-guessing anything
-
Discreet photography so the proposal stays a surprise
-
Time after the proposal for photos and soaking it all in
​
If you want to add a proposal picnic, I also offer picnic setups so everything is ready when you arrive!
"Amanda recently took engagement photos for my fiance and I and we are so happy with how they turned out! Her turnaround time was so quick for such high quality work. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!
— MaKayla D.
"I live in Virginia and contacted Amanda for a proposal. She was amazing to work with! She helped me with making the surprise happen by going to the site ahead of time and setting everything up. Amanda genuinely cared about the proposal going as I had envisioned and was so supportive along the way! I am SO GLAD I worked with her.

We had the absolute best experience working with Amanda! She captured our surprise proposal so beautifully - every emotion, every candid smile, every little moment that meant the world to us. Her eye for movement, light, and detail is unreal. The colors were natural and timeless, and we truly felt like we were reliving the moment when we went through the photos."

FAQ's
Do you help plan the proposal or just photograph it?
I help with both! I’ll guide you through location options, timing, and how to keep everything a surprise. You don’t need to have a full plan before reaching out.
What happens after the proposal?
After the “yes,” we'll take some time (depending on the packages that you choose) to take some fun engagement photos so you can enjoy the moment and soak it all in!
Where do you photograph proposals?
I photograph proposals throughout St. Augustine and surrounding areas, including the beach, downtown, gardens, parks, and sailboats.
How far in advance should I book a proposal photographer?
As soon as you have a date in mind! Popular seasons like spring, fall, Night of Lights, and holidays tend to book quickly, especially for sunrise or sunset.
Do you offer proposal picnics?
Yes! I offer proposal picnic setup as an add-on. Everything is set up before you arrive so you can focus on the proposal itself. It’s a great option if you want something thoughtful but low stress.
Can you help me choose between sunrise and sunset?
Of course! We’ll talk through lighting, crowds, weather, and what fits your overall plan best.
Can you keep the proposal a surprise?
Absolutely! This is something I’m very intentional about. I blend in, arrive early, and coordinate everything so your partner doesn’t suspect a thing.
What if it rains?
Rain happens, especially in Florida! I always have backup options and help adjust the plan if needed. Some rainy proposals end up being extra memorable!
How do we book?
Just reach out through my contact form with your date and idea, even if it’s still vague. I’ll help you from there!
