2020 is coming to a close (can I get an amen??) and the holidays are almost here. That can only mean one thing…engagement season! Did you know almost 20% of proposals happen in December?! A lot has changed this year, but proposing around the holidays is sure to be a tradition that sticks around.

Should you hire a proposal photographer?

Yes!! Proposing a once-in-a-lifetime moment that’s over so quickly and is such a bluuuur. Since proposals are (usually) a surprise, your partner won’t have much time to process what’s happening. Photos are a great way for both of you to relive the special moment and share it with friends + family – especially these days when they may not be able to share in the joy in-person #thankscovid. Trust me, your partner (and you!) will appreciate being able to look back at the photos.
