We've got Key West secret proposal photography covered for you.

When you’re ready to propose, we’ve got you covered with our surprise proposal photography sessions and setups.  Are you a low key couple that wants a simple proposal with just photography?  No problem, we’ve got a session for that.  Do you want a proposal set up or proposal picnic on the beach?  Look no further.  Do you want epic photos at sunset?  We can do that, too.  We’ve worked with many couples and understand you want your proposal to be as special as the relationship between you and your soon to be fiancee.

Our pictures and packages that we chose turned out amazing, and we even had a hard time choosing which photos we wanted because we loved them all. If you or anyone you know is ever looking for a reliable, dedicated, and trustworthy photographer when in Key West, I would highly recommend taking the time to book and speak with Mark.

Your Personalized Session Webpage

You'll get your own password protected personalized webpage with recommendations on how you can enjoy your photos, links to content we create from your session and more.

Video slideshow of your photos and content

We'll introduce your photos to you in a unique way - a video slideshow that includes video content we may have captured during your photography session.  Instead of getting a link to just a gallery of images, we'll create a video for you and your fiancee to watch together and see your proofs for the first time.

Retouched photos

We're going to make your photos look the very best they can by retouching your photos.  What does that mean and how is it different from edited photos?  It means we're going to remove background distractions, tackle flyaway hairs where possible, take out that pesky pimple that showed up two days ago, smooth skin and more.  The way we go about retouching doesn't make your photos look fake or make you look like a plastic mannequin.  We do subtle retouching - just enough to make you look great, but not too much to make you look unnatural.

mobile app for your key west photographers photos

Wall Art, Albums, Prints and More

We have plenty of options for you to enjoy your photos after your proposal. All of our items are produced by professional labs that use materials and methods that allow you to display or view your photos for years to come.  Don't let your photos just sit on your device.  Have them out in the open to enjoy!
