Photography in Key West

We've got your secret proposal covered

When you're ready to propose, we've got you covered with our surprise proposal photography sessions.  We'll start the proposal photography session by staying hidden and get candid photos of the two of you as you casually walk around your favorite Key West location.  When you give the simple cue and drop to one knee, we'll come out from hiding and photograph the reaction as you say those romantic words, "Will you marry me?"  After the hugs, kisses and maybe a few tears of surprise and happiness, we'll get engagement photos of the two of you.

​

If you're already engaged and want to get engagement photos in a beautiful tropical location, we've got that covered too.  Key West has a wide variety of settings and at least one of them is perfect for capturing your love for each other.

Your proposal done your way.

You've done most of the work.  You fell in love. You bought the ring. You made the travel plans to come to Key West.  We'll help you get across the finish line by handling the proposal details. Do you want to propose in a ring of roses? Would you like your new finacee to receive flowers after she says "Yes!"? Do you have something else in mind to make your proposal extra special? Let us know how we can help make your proposal get done your way.

See how it comes together!  A hidden proposal photography session in action.

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.

What to Expect
The professional portrait process

Many clients wonder what they should expect when they hire a professional photographer.  This helpful timeline will guide you through each step of the process so you can feel relaxed and comfortable on the day of the session.

Before

First, I’ll send you a photography agreement and a questionnaire so we get to know you and your fiancee better.  We'll get the details and any special items such as flowers or a special set up worked out.  We'll make a plan so we're coordinating to come out from hiding seconds before you propose.  In the days leading up to the proposal, I'll send you detailed information and maps of your proposal location so you won't have to worry about anything except what to say to your partner.

The Day Of

On the day of the session, we’ll put the plan in motion. It's important for you and your fiancee to be yourselves so your personalities and connections will show.  A fun and relaxing session results in great portraits you can treasure for a lifetime.

1 - 2 Weeks After

Sneak peek images may be posted to social media or our blog for your family and friends to view.

3 - 4 Weeks After

After the photographs have been taken and each image has been edited, you’ll be able to log into your online gallery to view the photos from your session. We will then confirm a phone meeting or an in person consult to place image, print and album orders. I’ll do my part to make placing your order a fun and easy experience so you’ll have your Key West proposal memories in your hands and on your walls as quickly as possible.
