Portfolio · Proposals

Surprise proposals.

A surprise proposal is the one shoot you cannot redo, so it gets planned like a small heist. We scout the spot with you, agree on timing and a signal, then photograph from a distance until the question is asked. The galleries here are real Austin proposals: Jake kneeling for Riley on a riverside walkway downtown at golden hour, and James asking Kelli at the Sekrit Theater in East Austin. Proposal photography with Friesen Co begins at $2,500, and every proposal rolls into portraits afterward, while the yes is still sinking in.
