Kevin let me in on his plan to propose to Anna on their trip to Alaska, so we got to schemin’. We caught the most stunning sunrise at low-tide for their magic moment. Homer Alaska, my home town, is the most stunning place for a beach proposal. I always make sure to do my research and stay up to date on the tides and the weather here in Homer, so I can plan for both the best possible views AND lighting for my clients! We want to see those mountains and we want epic lighting. Leave it all to me – it’s part of my job and I absolutely love it!
I am in love with orchestrating the best photos for my clients. I take notes on what you want to prioritize in your album, and I make it happen. For some folks they come all this way to beautiful Alaska and are just dying to have insane mountain views in their photos, and others are in love with the ocean and really want to incorporate it with the stunning views behind them, and some people have always wanted to experience an incredible beach sunrise surrounded by mountains and a fresh morning breeze. Yes to all of these! I can make it happen! You tell me your vision, your hopes and dreams, and I get to work on the time of year you’re wanting photos in and collide it with what time of day, the tide, and which location works best. Granted – this could mean we all get our butts out of bed at 6am to meet at the beach in time for cotton candy skies like Kevin, Anna and I did. I’m telling you right now – it was 1000% worth it. Let’s grab coffees and meet at the beach before anyone is awake, you won’t regret having the beach to yourselves during the most magical time of day in Homer.
Let’s talk about it.
I can’t imagine how nerve wracking proposing to the love of your life would be. Thankfully, you have nothing to worry about once you’ve got me in your corner. Along with planning the perfect location and time to propose, I also hop on the phone with you to go over ~ the plan ~ together. Which, fear not, is insanely simple and straightforward. It gives you a bit of direction and basically just sets you up for the best possible photos, while still prioritizing your comfort and flexibility to propose when you feel ready! You will also have total access to texting with me the day – of just in case there’s a change of plans or you think of something new you’d like to do! I’m extremely go with the flow when it comes to sessions, and especially proposals. You really can’t go wrong with a Homer Alaska beach proposal.
If your partner is anything like me – they probably don’t want a super public proposal. Instead, they want it to be documented by someone who stays out of the way, but captures all the feelings of that moment. I would want it documented authentically, artfully, and emotionally. Homer is perfect for getting engaged in – mountains behind, sunrise above, ocean before you. Let’s grab coffees and meet up for your “couple’s session” 😉
Let’s get to plannin’. Here’s a link to get the ball rolling.
