Your Love Story Starts Here
Congrats! If you are reading this, it means that you are ready
to take the most monumental step in your relationship.
There truly is no moment in life that is as happy and thrilling as the moment you first get engaged.
It is a moment that you will want to remember for the rest of your life and one that you will want to share with your children and even grandchildren.
I know how special and important this moment is for you, but I also know that the planning process can be stressful. I am here to take the stress out of proposing so that you can simply enjoy the moment.
My goal is to capture this special moment in a natural and organic way and maintain the element of surprise.
I want to capture this special moment for you in a way that is true to who you are as a couple. My approach to surprise proposals is to keep the plan simple, natural, and true to your relationship. Although they are beautiful, things like rose petals, candles, and other props are dead giveaways of what is to come next. I want your significant other to be truly shocked when you asked the big question so that I can capture all of that beautiful pure, and raw emotion for both of you. To help you accomplish this, I work with you to choose a location that is not only aesthetically beautiful, but natural to you as a couple. Your love and emotion are the only “prop” we need to capture timeless and gorgeous photos.
Proposal Photography Session
So, what exactly does a proposal package include?
Once you book your spot, I will send you a questionnaire that helps me to get to know you and your significant other. Based on those responses, I can help you to choose a location or provide input on locations you already have in mind.
About 7-14 days before you ask the big question, we will meet at the location to go over all of the important details to ensure that your day is a success. We will choose the best and most scenic spot to ask the question, how you should position yourselves, and we will come up with some contingency plans in the event of inclement weather or any other detail that can throw a wrench in your plan. By the end of the meeting, we will have a full-proof plan and you will feel comfortable and confident on the day of your proposal. All you have to do on that day is enjoy every single second of that special moment.
After the big moment, I will spend some time with you to capture beautiful and artistic engagement photos. There is no better time than those first few moments after you get engaged when you are “drunk in love” to have these photos taken. I am going to capture all of that gorgeous love, emotion, and connection between you so that you have images that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
After the proposal, I will upload a few images to social media for you to announce the happy news. I know how excited you are about sharing the big news and I want you to be able to use your professional images rather than cell phone captures to announce it to family and friends. You will then get your full gallery of images through a private viewing gallery.
Hi, I am Teresa Geraghty
and I am a secret proposal photographer.
I photographed my first proposal in 2018 and since then have photographed dozens of gorgeous couples as they embark on their life journey together.
I am not a box or corporate company and I treat each and every client like family. I care as much about your special day as you do and I will make sure that I capture your special day and all of the beautiful emotions fully for you.

Or maybe you want to read about the proposal stories I have captured below on the blog.
“Teresa is 10/10. Super professional and accommodating. She takes the time to really plan out the session to make sure everything comes out perfect. She recently shot my engagement and my fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with all of the photos. Such great detail, great lighting, and high quality. We’re so grateful we found such a great photographer to capture such a special moment. She feels like family to us now. Can’t wait to do business with her again in the future. 10/10 recommend.”

FAQs
Is the pre-meeting session required?
The pre-meeting consult is an important step in the planning process. Most of my past clients tell me that meeting with me prior to the proposal helped to put them at ease. This is when we come up with a concrete and solid proof plan for the proposal. I want you to be 10000% confident in my ability to capture this moment for you and I want you to feel relaxed and at ease on the day of the proposal. Plus, it also makes it less awkward to have someone clicking away while you ask the big question if you already know the person. If you can’t get to the proposal location prior to the day, then we can schedule a Facetime or Zoom call.
Can I have family members at the proposal?
Of course! As long as family members/friends are hidden and will not ruin the element of surprise, they are welcome to come. I am happy to photograph them as well after the proposal. Some proposal plans require family and friends to be present, so it is all based on your vision for the proposal.
How soon after the proposal will I receive my gallery of edited images?
My turnaround time is typically 1-2 weeks, depending on the season. I post sneak previews on social media within a few hours of the actual proposal.
Will my significant other see you once I arrive?
I am pretty skilled at blending in with the crowd and will either bring an assistant or some other props to blend in. I have also been known to hide in bushes and other locations to avoid being seen. I am a natural light photographer, so the only equipment I bring is my camera and a backup camera. My camera will not be visible until you begin the proposal process.
