What if it rains?
Don’t worry—we’ll have a backup plan. Depending on the weather forecast, we can adjust the timing, choose a covered location, or reschedule if necessary. My goal is to make sure your proposal experience is stress-free and memorable, regardless of the weather.

Your complete gallery will be delivered within 3–7 days after your session. All images are professionally edited and color-corrected, and your online gallery will remain available for one month for viewing and downloading.
Can you help choose a location?
Of course! I can recommend a variety of beautiful locations based on the style and atmosphere you’re looking for—whether it’s a scenic park, downtown setting, waterfront view, or a more private and intimate spot.
