Why Skai is the Premium Choice for Marriage Proposal Photography

Marriage proposal photography, distinguished from other genres, necessitates a diverse tapestry of skills extending beyond the technicalities of photography. It calls for an intuitive understanding of the nuances of surprise, a discerning eye for detail, and the ability to seamlessly integrate into the surroundings. This transcends mere image capture; it entails encapsulating the very essence of a transformative moment.

What elevates my standing in the dynamic realm of marriage proposal photography is not solely the technical finesse behind the camera lens, but the seamless fusion of expertise, passion and patience. This amalgamation is not a mere luxury but an absolute necessity when capturing those ephemeral instances of surprise proposals.

Beyond the high-quality photos showcased in my portfolio lies a rich tapestry of factors, and intricacies that one cannot fully grasp from visuals alone. The subtleties of surprise marriage proposal photography extend far beyond the surface:

  1. Advice and Problem Anticipation: My past experiences playing chess and being a design student have instilled in me the habit of anticipating potential problems. I apply this skill extensively in photography, particularly in lighting and logistics. I consistently advise my clients to create the most ideal situation for capturing excellent photos. I actually have a secret agenda - to ensure the top quality images to maintain my own reputation.
  2. Personalisation and Understanding: Through engaging conversations, I strive to understand my clients better, ensuring their preferences and desires take centre stage in the photography experience. Embracing uniqueness and avoiding the mundane, I encourage clients to be creative and bold. I offer guidance on the location, day and timing of the shoot to achieve the best quality photos.
  3. Acting Skill: Given that most marriage proposals require an element of surprise, discretion is paramount. Drawing from my experience in acting, coupled with countless instances of assisting clients with surprise proposal photography, I have built confidence in maintaining a discreet presence.
  4. Experience and On-the-Spot Problem-Solving Skills: Despite meticulous planning and anticipation, unforeseeable hiccups may occur, requiring swift and effective problem-solving on the spot. Trust, earned through numerous successful marriage proposal photography sessions, is the backbone of my experience. Coupled with years of expertise in photography, I tackle challenges head-on.
  5. Exceptional Reliability: While reliability is a basic expectation, I go the extra mile to ensure the success of each proposal. In instances where I sense overconfidence in clients' plans or foresee potential challenges, I proactively arrive early to assist. There have been times when I had to dash to get to the exact spot. This commitment to ensuring a flawless experience has contributed to clients expressing their gratitude, sometimes through tipping, despite not being the most budget-friendly photographer.

In contrast to other photographic moments, a surprise marriage proposal is a one-shot wonder, an un-rehearsable act where there is no room for retakes. Entrusting this profound chapter of your life to just any photographer is akin to handing a priceless masterpiece to an apprentice.

As you embark on the odyssey of immortalising your proposal, bear in mind that not every photographer can orchestrate this blend of skills. These are not just qualities; they stand as a testament to a dedication that transcends the act of clicking pictures – it is about crafting an indelible experience. The enchantment woven into your proposal demands nothing short of this extraordinary commitment.

Your unique story deserves a storyteller who not only understands but intricately weaves the threads of expertise, passion and patience into the very fabric of your unforgettable moment.

About: Skai the Marriage Proposal Photographer

Professional marriage proposal photographer in Singapore Greetings, I'm Skai, your go-to marriage proposal photographer, capturing love in its purest surprises right here in Singapore.

I'm nosy and greedy – not only do I lend a hand to singles in producing captivating dating profile photos for their quest for true love, but I also eagerly grab a slice of the pie by freezing the enchanting moments of couples' engagements. I'm not just in the business of snapping pics; I'm in the game of planning and freezing those magical, surprising moments of love.

I've danced behind the lens with both locals and lovebirds from around the globe, turning their surprise proposals in Singapore into cherished memories. Each story is unique, and being the guy who takes part in the successes is something I absolutely love.

I excel in anticipating possible problems, especially concerning lighting, and always going the extra mile for clients. I take pride in the fact that my additional efforts have often helped couples salvage or at least enhance their surprise proposals.

Back in my younger days, I dipped my toes into the local media scene as a part-timer. While I'm typically the brutally honest type, ready to face challenges head-on because I refuse to lie, when the situation demands a touch of drama for a good cause, I can pull off some acting skills. My past clients were blown away by how well I could play the role of a stranger during their surprise marriage proposals. Their partners didn't even notice me until I pointed my camera at them, ready to capture that surprise proposal magic.

Oh, and here's a little nugget: my wife thinks I should step up my game in the romance department. Blame it on all the incredible couples I've had the honour of working with – they've set the bar high! I get a bit stressed each time my wife assists me during post-production as she drops hints about my biased efforts in aiding others.

If you're dreaming of a city lights proposal or a sweet moment by the water, with a partner-in-crime to advise you on unlocking the door to your happy future, I'm your guy. Let's turn your love story into snapshots that'll have your partner raving about your romantic skills.

Skai's Vision & Goals for Marriage Proposal Photography

When it comes to marriage proposal photography, my vision is simple - to capture one of the most important moments in a couple's life and make it unforgettable!

I'm a firm believer in the fact that happiness is contagious. Capturing the happy moments would bring joy to the couple and their friends and family. I understand that most people won't be looking at the photos daily but I believe whenever they look back at the pictures, it would bring joy to them; and every single smile is worth the effort to hire and coordinate with the proposal photographer (me).

I also believe all couples will have disagreements and debates in future. Looking back at these photos would remind them of why they decided to start a family together. The love would help to ease conflicts and remind each other to compromise on each other's imperfections.

As a photographer, my goal is to create stunning images that capture the raw emotions, love and joy of the proposal. To achieve this, I believe in being discreet and unobtrusive, while still capturing every detail of the special moment. I want to make sure that the couple feels comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire experience, so I always aim to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

My ultimate goal is to deliver images that the couple can look back on for years to come, and that will evoke the same emotions they felt during that special moment. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of images, I strive to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience that couples can cherish forever.

How Skai Began Doing Marriage Proposal Photoshoots

It was this magical moment when a gentleman from the USA approached me to entrust me with the job to help out with his surprise marriage proposal to his girlfriend who's stationed temporarily in Singapore, I realised photography could be made so much more interesting and meaningful. I was thrilled.

His proposal plan required me to act as if I was hired by his then-girlfriend's company for a professional outdoor corporate photoshoot. I absolutely hated lying but acting for a good purpose was a different thing. With my experience in the local media firm in the past and my passion in performing art, I pulled it through easily and it was my first marriage proposal photoshoot. I was even given a good amount of tips.

It was only years later that I managed to straighten out my mind and set aside my other work to properly list out my photography services, requests for marriage proposal photography started pouring in.

Why Skai Loves Doing Marriage Proposal Photoshoots

  1. Capturing raw emotions: Marriage proposal photography allows me to capture the raw emotions of the couple during an important and intimate moment in their lives. From the joy and excitement on their faces to the tears of happiness in their eyes, it is an emotional and beautiful moment to capture.
  2. Telling a couple's story: I love being able to tell a couple's unique love story through the photographs I take. Each proposal is different and being able to document that unique story and make it visually beautiful is a wonderful experience for me.
  3. Being creative: I find that proposal photography allows me to be creative and come up with unique and imaginative ways to capture the special moment. Whether it is finding the perfect location or playing with lighting and angles, it allows me to be creative and showcase my skills.
  4. Making a difference: Being part of a couple's special moment and being able to give them something that I will cherish forever is a very fulfilling experience. I can help a couple to plan and make a proposal happen in a perfect way, which can make a huge difference in the couple's life.
  5. Building connections: I often form a special connection with the couple I work with. Being present during such an intimate and emotional moment can create a strong bond between me and the couple, which can be a rewarding aspect of the job.
  6. Capturing the unique moment that happens just once: I also love the fact that I am capturing a moment that can never be repeated. This allows me to be in the right place at the right time to catch those special and unique moments that will never happen again.

Overall, marriage proposal photography is a special niche that is both challenging and rewarding. I take pleasure in capturing special moments, telling the couple's story and making a difference in their lives, and in the end giving them something to remember the precious moments forever.

Successful Marriage Proposal Stories

Planning a surprise wedding proposal doesn't need to be very complicated or expensive. Of course, if you're a romantic person and you have a budget, you can consider some setups.

Fake Company Corporate Photoshoot

This is a simple and sweet surprise wedding proposal.

Brian arranged with Claudia's colleague to stage a solo portrait photoshoot for her company while he was still in the USA. I was the appointed corporate photographer who had to bring Claudia to the exact location. Brian was waiting over there and proposed to her.

Anthony set up some decoration items for his surprise wedding proposal with the help of his friends. As it drizzled, the props were moved from the romantic beach to a nearby location under the shelter, unfortunately, not with the best natural lighting. He then went over to fetch Divlynn. He had her blindfolded at the carpark and brought her over to the scene before he started proposing to her.

Keagan staged a couple photoshoot with me to give Nancy a surprise wedding proposal. On the day, we went ahead with a simple couple photoshoot. During the shoot and after getting the light exposure properly, I signalled to Keagan and he started proposing to Nancy.

Paparazzi, Me

wedding photographer proposal hidden photographer proposal hidden photographer for marriage proposal

Before the wedding proposal, we discussed the plans and venues, and we were too spoiled for choice. Dan eventually chose to surprise Lorelei at the Gardens by the Bay and I advised him on the direction of the lighting. I found it a big challenge for he wanted me to sneak around to capture the behind-the-scene pictures. He would even pull a trick by giving her a gift (perfume) before presenting the actual proposal ring to her (making it more confusing for me from a distance away). We had a quick "toilet meeting" to reconfirm the plan. I felt like a paparazzi.

Romantic Restaurant

Although this surprise wedding proposal looked simple, the coordination work was hectic for Hendra. He arranged with the divers to hold the poster inside the aquarium and coordinated with the restaurant's manager and me.

Note: This is the most stressful wedding proposal photography that I have done because I wasn't allowed to use flash and the restaurant was very dim.

She was Expecting the Proposal

marriage proposal photography surprise proposal photographer photographer for proposal marriage proposal photographer

Andrew approached me months before they were coming over to Singapore. This was a very different marriage proposal photography project because Vicky already anticipated that Andrew would be proposing to her during this trip. Living in traditional families, Vicky's parents got their birthdates calculated and this short period was the only auspicious timeframe for the marriage proposal. Andrew didn't want to miss it.

Although I was a little disappointed that the element of surprise wouldn't be very high, given that Vicky already expected it, I was impressed by Andrew as he decided to create the best memory possible regardless.

I was overwhelmed by the planning for this surprise marriage proposal shoot. From my experience, there would be many unforeseeable incidents and thus I had to be very mindful when giving suggestions or answering questions. My greatest worry was that since everyone had different preferences, whatever I proposed might not always be the most ideal for my clients.

We had long discussions and each time, I racked my brain badly. Since Andrew's ideal proposal location was at the famous Gardens by the Bay, I emptied my knowledge of the place to let him make the best decisions. He shared some nice landscape pictures with me and I quickly explained the differences between doing landscape and portrait with the landscape as background.

We were blessed that Vicky's brother, Peter, joined them on the trip and thus I was able to act as his online gaming friend who was able to show them around Gardens by the Bay. I advised Andrew to do the shoot early in the morning for the best lighting possible and he proposed a "safer" timing. However, they had a late night and thus the proposal was delayed. Eventually, we managed to surprise her for she really believed I was her brother's friend.

The lighting wasn't as bad as I had anticipated but it took me more effort during post-production to fine-tune them.

Simple but Extremely Meaningful Proposal

wedding proposal photographer marriage proposal photographer surprise wedding proposal photographer surprise marriage proposal photographer surprise proposal photographer proposal photographer wedding proposal photographer in singapore marriage proposal photographer in singapore

Prakash was ready to take his relationship with Darsheni to the next level. He knew that proposing to her was going to be the next step, but he wanted to make it a special moment that they would both cherish forever. His initial plan was to fly over to the UK to surprise her during her trip, but he had some challenges to sort out first.

He then planned to surprise her during her Indonesia trip, but she had a change of plan. Prakash was determined to make it work, so he approached me to be his photographer for the proposal. He had two ideas in mind - proposing to her at the zoo in front of the giraffes since they were her favourite animal or surprising her at MBS where they usually went to walk their dogs.

I advised him that the MBS idea was better because their three dogs would be with them, and it would be more meaningful. I also suggested that he could do it at Jurong Lake Gardens, which was the garden that she frequented the most. Later on, Prakash suggested changing the MBS idea to Marina Barrage because that was their favourite place for their initial dates.

Throughout the planning, we spent a couple of weeks finalising the supposedly simple plan. Prakash was cooperative in planning and agreeing to the best timing for the shoot. Unfortunately, the weather forecast stated it would rain. We checked the weather forecast daily, praying hard that it would change its mind.

The night before the actual proposal day, Prakash drove over to my place late at night just to talk to me face-to-face to boost his confidence. He made the effort to prepare a speech to practice it.

On the actual day, the weather was super sunny, but by the time they arrived, grey clouds started covering the sky, which was very good. Prakash led her and their dogs to the exact stone seat that they used to go to, and he immediately started the proposal. I was at a close distance away, in the grass area, pretending to be taking photos of the visitors, especially the kites in the air. At intervals, I would point my camera over.

Darsheni later claimed that she saw me taking photos of them, but I was sure that she didn't realise I was being hired by Prakash as the official photographer! Certainly, many random street photographers were brave enough to snap such good moments.

Anyway, it was another successful marriage proposal photography. I was glad to be part of it and seeing the joy of the couple brightened up my day as well. It's moments like these that make my job worthwhile, capturing the love and happiness of two people embarking on a new journey together.

Sneaking around

wedding proposal photographer marriage proposal photographer surprise wedding proposal photographer

Jason reached out to me before he visited Singapore, expressing his desire to plan a special wedding proposal for Natalie. His idea was simple but heartfelt - to find a beautiful spot at Gardens by the Bay for a magical moment.

To assist Jason in visualising his proposal, I shared my past work at the Gardens, showcasing different picturesque locations. It was important to me that he had a say in choosing a spot that resonated with his vision and personal connection.

After careful consideration, we settled on two spots - one as the main location and another as a backup option. To ensure the best lighting conditions for both the proposal and subsequent couple shoot, I advised Jason on the optimal timing to capture the desired ambience.

As the day approached, I arrived at the main spot to scout the location and ensure its suitability. However, to our disappointment, just moments before Jason and Natalie came, the area became unexpectedly crowded with tourists, rendering it unsuitable for an intimate proposal backdrop.

Quick thinking and effective communication were key at this crucial moment. We swiftly exchanged messages and decided to proceed to the backup location instead. Being the designated photographer, I had to act inconspicuously and ensure I reached the second spot well ahead of them without revealing my role.

In a rush, I dashed to the backup location, making sure to maintain distance from Jason and Natalie. Arriving earlier, I composed myself and blended in with the surroundings, pretending to be a casual tourist capturing photos of the vibrant flora.

Finally, as Jason and Natalie arrived at the location, the magical moment unfolded. Jason mustered up the courage and began his heartfelt proposal, making it a memorable and joyous occasion for both of them.

Despite the unexpected change in plans, the backup location provided a charming setting, and I documented the heartfelt proposal, ensuring every precious moment was captured.

This wedding proposal shoot exemplified the need for flexibility, adaptability and quick thinking in the face of unforeseen challenges. I felt fortunate to be a part of Jason and Natalie's journey, capturing their love story in a meaningful and candid manner.

Straight to Point

wedding proposal in gardens by the bay wedding proposal in chinese garden wedding proposal in GBTB wedding proposal at outdoor wedding proposal in garden wedding proposal in park

Andre reached out to me in advance, expressing his desire to plan a surprise wedding proposal for Yen during their visit to Singapore. He had done his research and selected the Chinese Garden at Gardens by the Bay as the ideal location for this special moment.

Recognising that there might be confusion due to the presence of another Chinese Garden in Singapore, Andre took extra care to emphasise that the chosen location was Gardens by the Bay.

Andre decided on a morning shoot. However, in order not to arouse suspicion from Yen, we couldn't plan the proposal in the early morning for the best lighting conditions, as it would have seemed unusual to go to the garden so early in the morning.

On the day of the proposal, we were all early. Andre recognised me near the MRT station as I matched the description he had of me. Luckily, Yen was occupied with taking photos, and I managed to arrive at the Chinese Garden ahead of them, ensuring everything was perfectly set up.

Given the sunny weather, I was concerned about incorporating the Supertrees into the background. Fortunately, Andre had a different vision from most other clients. He chose a serene and peaceful spot within the Chinese Garden, which provided a soft and beautiful lighting ambience for his proposal.

As the heartfelt moment unfolded and Yen said "yes" to Andre's proposal, he couldn't contain his excitement and eagerly introduced me to her. The joy and happiness in their eyes were captured through my lens, forever preserving the memories of their special day.

This surprise wedding proposal photoshoot was a testament to the careful planning and thoughtful considerations that Andre put into creating a memorable and intimate experience for Yen. I felt honoured to have been a part of their journey, capturing the love and emotions that radiated between them.

Fake Friends Studio Photoshoot

Derrick had big plans for his marriage proposal to Eunice, and one of his initial ideas was to set up a romantic scene at the sky garden of Pinnacle@Duxton. However, I advised him about the unpredictability of weather conditions and the potential hazards of strong winds, particularly since he had arranged for a special service to set up a beautiful backdrop. Taking my advice into consideration, he decided to opt for a photo studio instead.

To make the proposal even more special, Derrick enlisted the help of their mutual friends. The plan was for Eunice's close friends to pretend that they were going for a regular photoshoot, creating a surprise element for the momentous occasion.

To ensure everything went smoothly, I arrived at the photo studio earlier to coordinate with Derrick. We confirmed the lighting setup and made sure every detail was in place for the perfect proposal.

As Eunice opened the door, she was met with a heart-warming surprise. There stood Derrick, her knight in shining armour, ready to take her on a journey of love and commitment. With the backdrop beautifully set, he led her towards the setup and began pouring his heart out, expressing his deepest feelings and proposing to her.

Emotions ran high as both Derrick and Eunice became overwhelmed with happiness and joy. Witnessing their love-filled moment was an absolute blessing for me as the photographer. The atmosphere was filled with love, and I felt honoured to be a part of such a special occasion, capturing the precious memories of their engagement.

Derrick's thoughtful planning, the involvement of their close friends and the genuine love between him and Eunice made this marriage proposal truly unforgettable. It was a testament to their bond and commitment to each other, and I was grateful to have played a part in their beautiful journey of love.

Vacation's surprise

wedding proposal in hotel wedding proposal in resort wedding proposal in Sentosa wedding proposal in Capella hotel

The marriage proposal photoshoot I did with Jay and Florence was a heartwarming and well-planned event. Jay, I must say, was one of the most hardworking individuals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Before the actual shoot, he went the extra mile by visiting the resort in Sentosa, meticulously inspecting every detail, including the locations where he intended to propose. His dedication and effort truly left a lasting impression on me.

Our preparations were marked by extensive discussions and Jay approached every decision with a sense of rationality and thoughtfulness. This thoughtful approach ensured that the entire event was perfectly tailored to create a memorable experience.

On the day of the proposal, I couldn't help but be concerned about the limited space inside the room Jay had selected for the occasion. To make sure everything went smoothly, I arrived at the location well in advance to meet with Jay. He was extremely appreciative and amazed by my effort. We needed to strategize, adapt to the confined space and iron out any potential issues.

Given the room's tight quarters, I knew I had to employ a wide-angle lens to capture the moment effectively. Together, Jay and I went through some rehearsals to ensure that everything would proceed seamlessly when the time came.

The moment arrived as Florence made her way to the resort. Jay promptly went to receive her and led her to a brief tea break while the resort's staff took care of her luggage. This gave me the perfect opportunity to remain hidden inside the room, making minor adjustments to the decoration and ensuring everything was just right.

Jay and I stayed in contact, exchanging texts before their return. With the stage set, Jay guided Florence straight to the backdrop he had personally prepared. Florence was utterly captivated by the setup and her reaction was nothing short of adorable.

With the stage beautifully set and Florence enchanted by the ambience, the time had come for Jay to proceed with the proposal. It was a heartwarming and memorable moment, made even more special by the thought and effort that went into planning and executing this wonderful surprise.

Tips & Tricks for Marriage Proposal Photoshoots

How to Plan for a Successful Marriage Proposal in Singapore

Planning a successful marriage proposal in Singapore can be an exciting and challenging experience. Here are some tips to help ensure that your proposal goes smoothly:

  1. Share all details with me: One of my favourite parts of doing marriage proposal photography is getting to know the couple beforehand. This allows me to better understand their personalities, preferences and the story of their relationship. By doing this, I'm able to personalise the experience and create images that truly reflect their love story. So, share as much information as possible with me, so that I can plan and execute the proposal together with you, and ensure that you have beautiful, high-quality photos to cherish for years to come.
  2. Determine your partner's style: Before you start planning, consider your partner's personality and what she would enjoy. Does she prefer a romantic and intimate setting, or does she prefer something more grand and elaborate? Understanding your partner's preferences will help you tailor your proposal to their tastes.
  3. Set a budget: Decide how much you're willing to spend on your proposal and allocate your budget accordingly. Consider the cost of the ring, transportation, decorations and any other expenses you may incur.
  4. Choose the right location: Singapore is filled with beautiful and romantic locations, from Gardens by the Bay to Marina Bay Sands. Pick a location that holds special meaning for both of you, whether it's a place where you first met or had a memorable experience. Consider the logistics of the location, such as accessibility, privacy and parking.
  5. Plan the timing: Choose a time of day that will be special for both of you, whether it's during a sunrise or sunset, or at a time that has personal significance.
  6. Make a backup plan for bad weather: In case of bad weather, have a backup plan ready, such as proposing indoors or at a different location. This will ensure that your proposal goes ahead even if the weather isn't ideal.
  7. Get creative with the proposal: Think of creative ways to propose, whether it's through a scavenger hunt, a surprise performance or a personalised video message. Consider incorporating elements that are meaningful to your relationship, such as music, poems or special inside jokes.
  8. Involve loved ones: If you want, you can involve close friends or family members in your proposal. This can add to the emotional impact of the moment and make it even more memorable. They can also help you with the logistics.
  9. Rehearse the proposal: Rehearse your proposal so that you can feel more confident and in control of the day. This can help you work out any kinks and ensure everything runs smoothly.
  10. Keep the proposal a surprise: Keeping the proposal a surprise will add to the excitement and create a more meaningful moment. Make sure to keep your plans secret and enlist the help of close friends or family members if necessary.

Remember, the most important thing is to make sure your proposal is a reflection of your love and relationship. By following these steps and putting thought and care into your proposal, you can create a moment that you and your partner will treasure forever.

Marriage Proposal Guide

Who Should You Tell Before You Propose?

There is no rule about who you should tell before you propose and the decision will depend on your circumstances and relationships. Some people may choose to keep the proposal a secret until the moment of the proposal, while others may want to share the news with their loved ones beforehand. Here are a few people you may want to consider telling before you propose:

  1. Your immediate family: It is often considerate to let your immediate family members know about your plans to propose, especially if they will be involved in the proposal in some way.
  2. Your partner's immediate family: If you have a close relationship with your partner's family, it may be considerate to let them know about your plans to propose.
  3. Close friends: You may want to let your close friends know about your plans to propose, especially if they will be present for the proposal.

Ultimately, the decision about who to tell is a personal one and will depend on your relationships and the level of secrecy you want to maintain. It is important to consider your partner's feelings and to make sure they are comfortable with who knows about the proposal.

Is it Better to Propose in Public or Private?

Whether it's better to propose in public or private is a personal decision that will depend on the couple and their preferences. Both public and private proposals have their unique advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of a public proposal:

  1. Excitement: Proposing in public can add a sense of excitement and adventure to the proposal. It can make it feel like a bigger event and create a more memorable experience.
  2. Shared experience: A public proposal allows others to share in the excitement of the proposal and can be an opportunity to involve friends and family in the celebration.
  3. Surprise: A public proposal can be a surprise for both the proposer and the proposee. It can be exciting and unexpected which can create a unique and special moment.
  4. Great photo opportunities: Public proposals often offer great photo opportunities, making it a great way to document the special moment.

Advantages of a private proposal:

  1. Intimacy: A private proposal allows for a more intimate and personal experience. It can be a more emotional moment shared between just the couple, making it a more meaningful and special experience.
  2. Flexibility: Proposing in private allows for more flexibility in terms of timing and location. It allows the proposer to have more control over the proposal and make it special and tailored to the couple's preferences.
  3. Less pressure: Proposing in private can be less pressure for the proposer, who may feel more comfortable and in control in a more intimate setting.
  4. No crowd: Proposing in private can be less stressful for the couple, as there will be no distractions, pressure or unexpected guests.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to propose in public or private will depend on the couple's preferences and personalities. While a public proposal can be exciting and memorable, a private proposal can be intimate and personal. The most important thing is to make the proposal special, unique and tailored to the couple's preferences.

When Proposing Do You Keep The Ring in the Box?

It is traditional for the person proposing to present the engagement ring in a small box often referred to as a "ring box." The ring box is typically opened to reveal the ring during the proposal. Some people choose to keep the ring in the box until the moment of the proposal, while others may choose to have the ring in their pocket or already on their finger. It is ultimately up to the person proposing what feels comfortable and natural for them. Some people may also choose to present the ring in a different way, such as attaching it to a piece of jewellery or a special gift. The important thing is to make the proposal meaningful and personal to the couple.

Do You Put Ring on Finger During Proposal?

Yes, it is traditional for the person proposing to place the engagement ring on the finger of their partner during the proposal. The person being proposed to will often wear the ring on their left ring finger after the proposal. This finger is traditionally chosen because it is believed to have a vein that runs directly to the heart, symbolising the love and commitment between the couple. However, it is ultimately up to the couple to decide how and when to exchange the engagement ring. Some couples may choose to exchange rings at the time of the proposal, while others may wait until later to exchange rings or may choose not to exchange rings at all.

Does a Guy Wear a Ring after Proposal?

It is traditional for the person being proposed to wear the engagement ring on their left ring finger after the proposal. The engagement ring is typically worn on this finger to symbolise the couple's commitment to each other and their intention to marry. In some cultures, it is also common for the person proposing to wear a ring as a symbol of their commitment. This is known as a "promise ring" and is often worn on the ring finger of the left hand. However, it is ultimately up to the couple to decide how and when to exchange rings and whether or not they want to wear them. Some couples may choose not to exchange rings at all or to wear their rings on different fingers.

Why Do Guys Kneel When Proposing?

There is no specific reason why guys kneel when proposing. Kneeling on one knee is a traditional gesture that has been used in proposals for centuries and has become an iconic symbol of a marriage proposal. It is often seen as a sign of respect and devotion, as the person proposing is literally "on bended knee" to show their commitment to their partner. Some people believe that kneeling on one knee originated as a way for a knight to show his loyalty and devotion to his lady when asking for her hand in marriage. Others believe that the gesture is simply a way to physically demonstrate the person's humility and devotion to their partner. Ultimately, the decision to kneel when proposing is a personal one and may be influenced by cultural or traditional factors.

Which Knee Do You Propose on?

There is no specific rule about which knee to propose on. It is a matter of personal preference and what feels comfortable and natural for the person proposing. Some people may choose to get down on one knee, while others may choose to get down on both knees or remain standing. It is also common for people to propose in a seated position or while kneeling on a chair or other piece of furniture. Ultimately, the important thing is the sentiment behind the proposal and the love and commitment between the couple, rather than the specific physical position of the person proposing.

What to Say while Proposing?

Proposing can be a nerve-wracking experience, but the most important thing is to be sincere and speak from the heart. Here are a few tips for what to say while proposing:

  1. Express your love: Start by telling your partner how much you love them and why you want to spend the rest of your life with them.
  2. Share your feelings: Let your partner know how much they mean to you and how they have impacted your life.
  3. Make it personal: Customise your proposal to your relationship by incorporating inside jokes or special memories.
  4. Be specific: Don't be afraid to be specific about why you want to marry your partner and what your future together will look like.
  5. Be confident: Believe in yourself and your love for your partner.
  6. End with the question: Finish by popping the question and asking your partner to marry you.

Remember, there is no "right" way to propose, so don't worry too much about having the perfect words. What matters most is that you are genuine and sincere in your proposal.

Should You Kiss when Proposing?

It is not necessary to kiss when proposing and the decision to do so is a personal one. Some people may choose to kiss their partner after the proposal as a way to seal the commitment and celebrate the occasion. Others may choose not to kiss and may prefer to hug or simply hold hands instead. It is important to consider your partner's feelings and preferences and to do what feels natural and comfortable for both of you. The most important thing is the sentiment behind the proposal and the love and commitment between the couple.

However, for the sake of photo-taking, it's very advisable to kiss and give the photographer ample time to capture the moment.

How Do You Propose If She Already Knows?

If your partner already knows that you are planning to propose, it can be challenging to surprise them with the actual proposal. However, there are still ways to make the proposal special and meaningful, even if your partner knows it is coming. Here are a few ideas for how to propose if your partner already knows:

  1. Personalise the proposal: Customise the proposal to your relationship by incorporating inside jokes, special memories or meaningful locations.
  2. Focus on the sentiment: While the element of surprise may be gone, you can still make the proposal special by expressing your love and commitment in a heartfelt way.
  3. Make it a joint decision: Instead of a traditional proposal, consider a joint decision and discuss your plans and vision for the future together.
  4. Create a special moment: Even if your partner knows the proposal is coming, you can still create a special moment by planning a romantic outing or activity.

Remember, the most important thing is to be sincere and choose a proposal that is meaningful and personal to your relationship.

Should I Tell My Partner About the Proposal Photoshoot?

Can I Include Other People in the Proposal Photoshoot?

Yes, it is possible to include other people in the marriage proposal photoshoot, such as friends or family members. Often, they would come in great help. However, it is important to consider the logistics of the photoshoot and to make sure that the presence of other people will not distract from the proposal itself.

What Should I Wear for My Proposal Photoshoot?

For your proposal photoshoot, you should wear clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident. You may want to choose something special or meaningful to you as a couple, such as a favourite outfit or a colour that has significance to your relationship.

How Do I Pose for My Proposal Photoshoot?

The photographer will likely guide specific poses and shots to capture, but it is important to also allow for candid and spontaneous moments.

Can I Request Specific Shots or Poses For My Proposal Photoshoot?

FAQ

General Proposal Questions

  1. How long does a proposal photoshoot typically last? A proposal photoshoot typically lasts for 1.5 hours. Although you may not need the full 1.5 hours for the entire proposal, it's best to book the photographer (me) to go down earlier just in case of any unforeseeable problems. Moreover, I will be able to spot problems that may affect the quality of the photos. In some cases, the majority of the booked hours are used for doing a casual couple photoshoot to commemorate the success of the marriage proposal.
  2. I'm a girl, can I propose to my boyfriend? Talking about gender equality, yes. It will be very special.
  3. What happens if my partner doesn't say yes? So far, I haven't encountered such an issue.
  4. How much does surprise marriage proposal photography cost? Pricing varies depending on the duration of the session and specific requirements. I offer customised packages to suit different budgets and needs. However, I have a base price for my packages and you can add on services such as extra time for the casual couple shoot after the proposal.
  5. What locations do you recommend for a surprise proposal? I can recommend a variety of picturesque locations in Singapore that provide the perfect backdrop for your surprise proposal, depending on your preferences and style. However, I would appreciate it if you could share more about your visions with me first.
  6. Are you familiar with my chosen proposal location? I am familiar with many popular proposal locations in Singapore and can provide guidance and recommendations based on your chosen location. However, it's important to note that Singapore has many interesting places, and I may not have visited all of them. What's most important is the skill of the photographer, as there will always be unforeseeable problems. I take pride in my ability to overcome all impromptu challenges.
  7. Are there any restrictions on where we can have the proposal? There may be certain restrictions or permit requirements depending on the location. I will advise you on any restrictions and help you navigate the process.

Proposal Packages

  1. Will you be the photographer on the day of the proposal, or do you have a team? I am the primary photographer for all proposal sessions, ensuring consistency and quality in the final images. I usually work alone unless the couple shoot after the proposal requires an assistant.
  2. Do you include videography services for proposals? No, I specialise exclusively in photography and cannot provide videography services. It's important to note that capturing proposal photography requires the photographer to be on the ball, which has its own set of limitations. Additionally, having too many people around can arouse suspicion and potentially ruin the surprise element of your proposal. Therefore, focusing solely on photography allows me to deliver the best possible experience and results for your special moment.
  3. Can you help me to set up props? No. I'm currently still focusing on photography as it's my passion to create the best photographs possible; I don't want to divert my attention and energy to something else, which may affect the quality of my photography. Not all money can be earned.
  4. Do you offer packages that include planning and photography? Yes, I offer comprehensive packages that include both proposal planning and photography services for a seamless and stress-free experience. Once you have confirmed my services, we can discuss the details further.
  5. Are there additional fees for travel or location scouting? There will be an additional fee for location scouting. Depending on the location and distance, there may be additional fees for travel. However, I always strive to keep these costs transparent and reasonable.
  6. Can you suggest some ideas for my surprise wedding proposal? Yes, we can exchange ideas. However, to be fair to me, I will need you to place a deposit to confirm my wedding proposal photography services first. In case of any unforeseeable situation that any client no longer needs my photography service anymore and my advice (service) and time will be compensated; this will help me to continue with my services for other people who truly require my help.
  7. Can you incorporate specific ideas or themes into the proposal photos? Yes, I am happy to incorporate any specific ideas or themes you have in mind to make your proposal photos truly unique and memorable.
  8. Can you accommodate special requests or preferences? Yes, I am happy to accommodate any special requests or preferences you may have to ensure that your proposal experience is tailored to your vision. However, please discuss with me first to see if it's doable.

What I can do is use my knowledge, experience and equipment to try to get the best pictures possible in every situation.
  12. What equipment do you use for surprise proposal photography? I use professional-grade camera equipment. To maintain the surprise element, I propose using natural light or ambient light.
  13. Do you have backup plans in case of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances? Yes, we will always make contingency plans together during the discussion to ensure that your proposal goes smoothly, even in the event of bad weather or other unexpected situations.

  16. How do you capture the surprise without my partner noticing? I utilise a stealthy approach and strategic positioning to ensure that your partner remains unaware of my presence until the perfect moment. I'm accustomed to blending in like a passer-by easily.
