For me, proposal photography isn’t just about snapping a picture—it’s about preserving the anticipation, the love, and the pure joy of one of life’s most meaningful moments. I work closely with you to ensure everything runs seamlessly, from helping plan the perfect location to discreetly capturing the moment without spoiling the surprise. Seeing the expressions of love and excitement on my clients’ faces is what makes this work so rewarding.

You’re Planning the Biggest Surprise of Your Life — Let’s Make It Easy (and Magical). Your heart is racing. The ring is hidden. You’ve picked the perfect moment… Now you just need a photographer who can pull off the surprise flawlessly. At Studio J Photography, I’ve photographed countless proposals in Sonoma and Napa — from quiet vineyard overlooks to private winery towers and coastal cliffs — and I know exactly how to plan, coordinate, hide, and capture every second of the moment they see the ring. This is more than a photo session. It’s the beginning of your story.

Being trusted to document such an intimate and life-changing event is an honor. The photographs I create allow you to relive the magic of that “Yes” moment and share it with your loved ones for years to come. That’s why I photograph proposals—to help couples preserve the beginning of their forever story in a way that’s as special as the love they share.
