When: You’ll want to make sure that you propose to your significant other on a day when they’re not too busy, stressed, or have other obligations. After all, you don’t want them to miss the special moment you planned! Nor do you want the added stress of juggling a busy schedule while on vacation.
Where: While you can plan to propose anywhere while in The Bahamas. Having a beautiful and scenic backdrop as your proposal location can make the atmosphere more romantic.

Propose in Paradise
There are two ways to go about capturing the moment:
You can plan a couples portrait session making her aware that you hired a professional photographer for a photo session. This gives her the opportunity to prepare to herself. Using this method removes some of your stress of knowing where to position yourself as our photographer will cue you when the moment is right to pop the question.
The second option is more of a paparazzi style with our photographer cleverly hidden, this method ensures that the moment you propose is captured in the most non intrusive manner. After you’ve proposed we transition to capturing portraits of your post-engagement glow.
For either method our team runs logistics to ensure that you are well equipped knowing what to do and when to do so.
As you can see there are many locations to choose from wether you are traveling to Nassau or one of our out islands. Proposing in paradise is as simple as setting the stage for the most romantic proposal. The Bahamas has more to offer than just the sun, sea, and sea.
