Planning a proposal (especially if it's a big surprise) is an exciting, often nerve-racking event that takes a lot of time and thought. Picking the time and place, arranging friends and family, choosing to purchase a ring or not- there's a lot of moving parts.
If you're ready to pop the question to your partner, capturing the moment is one less worry when you hire a professional photographer. With help from a creative eye, you'll have an album of memories you and your partner will look back on for years to come.
Here are some of my favorite proposal photoshoots near St. Louis, Missouri that turned the special moment into a lasting piece of the couples' journey.
A Walk Together | Proposal Photography Ideas 2026
Do you and your partner have a special place where you shared a meaningful moment? One simple, but effective way to get great proposal photos is to find a visually interesting or beautiful backdrop featuring a place that is special to you both. Natural scenery, or in this couple's case, an ornate bridge, can create photos as fantastic as your partner's smile when you propose.
Friends & Family | Proposal Photography Ideas 2026
Beginning your journey together can be even more exciting when you share it with your loved ones. If you're planning on inviting guests or proposing in a public space, including the smiles of everyone around makes for a dynamic photo that captures the excitement.
The Rings or Symbol of Love | Proposal Photography Ideas 2026
Whether you decide to propose with a diamond ring or just a kiss, no proposal photoshoot is complete without the symbol of your new life together. Take the time to get a photo of your rings, or simply each other in the moment.
