When photographing a marriage proposal, there are two primary approaches that we typically take: the "hidden" approach and the "involved" approach. Each has its own advantages and challenges, which is something we’ll discuss during our call!
1. The Hidden Approach
In this style, the goal is to capture the proposal moment as a complete surprise without the partner proposing knowing that the photographer is present. As the photographer, we are usually positioned in such a way that we are out of sight until the actual moment of the proposal.
2. The Involved Approach
With the involved approach, the couple is aware that a photographer is present, often because we’re already photographing a couple's or family session. At a specific moment during the session, we discreetly cue the person proposing, signaling that it's time to pop the question! This approach blends the excitement of the proposal with the beauty of an ongoing photo session, allowing us to capture the moment from different angles.
We’ll chat more about which style fits your vision during our call, ensuring we create a memorable and meaningful experience for you!
"Where do I even start!! Nathalie is the most kind person I have ever met. She made the process so easy and seamless and guided us through the entire thing! She is very down to earth and has a lot of passion for what she does. I received my engagement photos and was so emotional, Nathalie perfectly captured the love I feel for my partner. I cannot wait to show these pictures off to my friends and family. I will 100% be booking another session with Nathalie!"

Hello, hello!! My name's Nathalie and I'm SO excited to work with you!
As both an extrovert and a creative, I consider photography to be my love language. I'm energized by the people I work with - I love getting to know you and capturing moments that are meaningful to you.
My greatest goal when you work with me is to help you feel confident and comfortable in front of my camera. Everyone deserves to have beautiful photos taken of themselves and have fun while doing it! This is an inclusive space where all love is welcomed 🌈
I'd describe my photography as creative, candid, and fun. I create a fun and relaxed environment by providing a mix of prompts and poses unique to each client! I'd describe my editing as enhanced-true-to-colour. I want to enhance, not alter the colours you’ve selected for your wedding day!
Are you ready to have some fun?
