Surprise Rooftop Proposal in Austin, Texas | Courtney + Kristen

Proposal Story of Courtney & Kristen

I love a good love story!

Courtney reached out about proposing to Kristen during a couples shoot in downtown Austin! The two of them where both so excited to get married but each wanted a chance to propose to the other. Kristen had surprised Courtney a few months prior with a proposal, surrounded by their closest friends & family! She even had Wes (austin videographer) capture an amazing video of the proposal! Courtney knew she had to do something special and keep it a complete surprise too!

During our shoot, she sneakily passed off the ring box right before they started the session. Once they settled into the flow, Courtney decided to surprise Kristen by getting on one knee! She was SO surprised! Just how Courtney anticipated it! After a resounding yes, I continued to capture them and you can just tell how in love the two of them are!

Congratulations Courtney & Kristen!

Why Hire A Proposal Photographer

Help with Planning & Logistics

You’ve never done this before! Deciding on the perfect location, time, etc can be quite overwhelming when you’re trying to keep this HUGE secret! Not to mention, how to get your soon to be fiancé or fiancée to that location without suspecting anything. Professional photographers will know how to capture the moment with the best lighting, direct you to a more private location, and suggest back up plans incase of weather/tourists/trail closure/etc. Plus they can edit out photo bombers!

High Milage Photos

Photography does costs money. So if you want photographs that feel like a great bang for your buck then professional images of your surprise proposal are a great way to go! You’ll be able to make a beautiful announcement on social media with gorgeous images, not grainy iPhone photos. Having an engagement party? Boom, you’ve got photos for the invitation! Planning on skipping engagements? No problem, utilize photos from after the proposal for your wedding save the dates!

Most Importantly – Memories!

One of the top special moments in anyones life! A surprise proposal is special and you’ll want images from start to finish from the big moment. Some couples are lucky to have a friend snapping iPhone photos during the exact moment, but a professional photographer will be able to capture the entire story with gorgeous imagery that you’ll be proud to share with anyone!
