Surprise Proposal PLANS
Simple
Surprise proposal that happens as part of a normal, scheduled photoshoot. You introduce us as a photographer you book in advance for a photoshoot. This is the best plan as your partner will be dressed well for the moment as well.
No Extra Charge (included in the price)
COMPLICATED
Anything other than simple proposal, such as requiring us to act, whether as a guide, business partner, long lost friend, passer-by, etc or track your location and photograph you discretely. This will require much more complicated planning and coordination between us.
Extra US$50
