How do you stay hidden?

We scout the spot ahead of time, arrive early and shoot with a long lens from a distance — just another person with a camera in a city full of them. Your partner does not see us until you say so.

What if the timing slips?

It happens constantly and it is fine. We agree on a rough window rather than a hard minute, with a text signal so we know you are on your way, and a second spot picked in advance.

Do we get portraits afterwards?

Yes — twenty to thirty minutes of portraits right after the yes, while you are both still glowing.

About This Session

All on-location New Orleans wedding proposal photography sessions include photography of the proposal, followed by a mini engagement portrait session, if you choose. The fee also includes basic editing and an online gallery where you'll be able to share images with friends and family as well as on social media. You can purchase prints directly from the gallery if you choose, as well. We also have books, cards, and other products.

Your session fee also includes high-res downloads of all of the edited images 60 days after the gallery goes live. In the meantime, you'll be able to download medium-res watermarked images.

You can decide the duration of the session and the location (or consult with Marc for ideas about what fits best for your vision of the proposal). Locations more than 10 miles from Marc Pagani Photography will incur a travel fee, to be discussed prior to session. Additional fees for weekends/holidays. Note that because Marc Pagani Photography sets aside the date and time of your session and does not book any other shoots during that time, session fees are non-refundable.
