Frequently Asked Questions

What are some proposal tactics to choose from?

expand_less expand_more
  • Friendly Tourist: Your Flytographer, posing as a friendly tourist, will offer to take a photo of you and your partner.
  • Vacation Cover: Let your partner know that you’ve booked a regular couple’s photo shoot so you can prepare for the photo shoot together without suspicion.
  • Fly on the Wall: Your photographer will remain hidden for the actual proposal. While this allows for an intimate moment, it is the most risky as passersby could interrupt your shot.
  • Customized: We are happy to adjust these scenarios if you have another idea in mind for how you would like your proposal to go!

Will I be connected with my proposal photographer directly?

expand_less expand_more

Yes! Immediately after you book your Flytographer in San Francisco, you will be connected via email to begin the proposal planning process together and create the perfect plan. You can choose from one of the above proposal scenarios, or share another idea, and ask them any specific questions you might have leading up. Your photographer will be able to share their favourite tips on how to plan your San Francisco proposal.

What is the difference between a proposal and engagement shoot?

expand_less expand_more

Your proposal photo shoot with us in San Francisco would involve your Flytographer capturing the moment when you get down on one knee to surprise your partner with a marriage proposal. After the big moment in a proposal photo shoot, you can transition to taking engagement photos if you choose a longer session.

Engagement photo shoots with us would take place after the proposal moment (when you are already engaged) and involve capturing your newly engaged bliss. If you are already engaged, you can book a normal engagement session rather than a proposal photo shoot.

How much does a proposal photographer cost in San Francisco?

expand_less expand_more

Our proposal package pricing starts at $425 USD for a 30-minute shoot. Easily book a trusted, local photographer in San Francisco. We'll organize all the details and share our expert tips to ensure your proposal in San Francisco goes perfectly. Make the moment last a lifetime with beautiful photos to reflect on together, relive the memories, and share with friends and family when you return home.

How much are engagement photos in San Francisco?

expand_less expand_more

Does Flytographer do wedding photography?

expand_less expand_more

We do not offer wedding photography; however, we can capture the moments leading up to and after the big day. While we can’t capture wedding photos in San Francisco, we can capture surprise proposals, engagement photos, pre-wedding trips, bachelorettes, bachelor parties, honeymoon trips, anniversary photos, and more!
