Pt Willunga Proposal – Melissa & Malith

Carrying her in front of sunset

Pt Willunga Proposal – Melissa & Malith

Malith certainly timed his proposal to Melissa perfectly with an incredible sunset on the famed Pt Willunga beach.

His secretive Pt Willunga Proposal was maticulously planned by Malith leading up to the big moment, and oh my goodness, some of the scenes were just incredible!

Pt Willunga Proposal

The biggest concern for any of us leading up to the big moment was the weather – as both leading up to and beyond the day Malith planned his big Pt Willunga Proposal, the weather was pretty bad, and the tides during the winter is often so high that there isn’t much beach to stand on at Pt Willunga. But all that worrying was for nothing as the evening could not have gone any better.

Despite a bit of a hiccup having Melissa and Malith arrive a bit later than expected due to being served a rather late lunch in nearby Mclaren Vale, Malith proposed in front of a delightful little arbour set up put together by a small company sepcialising in this sort of thing – Fox Meets Charlie.

The fun part of the whole set up was trying to keep Melissa in the dark as they walked towards the arbour set up, with the group of us standing nearby ready to pounce and start taking photos/video as the big moment happened. Surpisingly Melissa had no idea until Malith presented the ring and everyone was all smiles :).

After the big moment, then we went off for a lbit of a walk along the beach to take some pretty photos in front of the amazing sunset and what many consider to be the most photographed beach in South Australia!

Congratulations go out to Melissa and Malith!

How to plan a picture perfect proposal

  • Engagement ring in amonst the flowers

Plan a picture perfect proposal

Your proposal is a magical moment, one that you will likely tell all your family and friends about. Having photos of this once in a lifetime experience will make the story even better, and if you have any loved ones who live further away, it will allow you to show them the engagement ring in all its glory.

But how can you plan a picture-perfect proposal without raising your partner’s suspicions? Whilst they might have an inkling of what is going to happen, keeping it a surprise can make for the best photos, as you’ll capture the look of shock (and hopefully joy) on their face as you get down on one knee. Follow our tips and make sure your proposal is memorable for all the right reasons, so that you can cherish your photos forever.

How to plan a picture perfect proposal

Get the ring ready

The crucial element of any proposal is the engagement ring. After all, this is the traditional symbol of love that shows your partner just how much they mean to you, and that you want to spend the rest of your life with them. There’s no need to go flashy just because you’re having photos taken, though – the best ring is one that suits your partner well, and ultimately one that they’ll be happy with, whether that’s a huge diamond or a small band of gemstones.

Whatever style of ring you choose, making sure that it fits well can be crucial to a successful proposal. Nothing will ruin the ultimate shot of you sliding the ring onto your new fiancée’s finger than it getting stuck at the first knuckle, or twisting around because it’s too big. If you’re uncertain on your partner’s ring size, try measuring an existing ring at home, or asking their friends and family, providing you trust them to keep the secret. If you still don’t know, then you can usually ask the jeweller to opt for a standard ring size, but just check that they’ll be able to adjust it after purchase.

Choose your outfits

Being able to do this will really depend on whether your partner will be happy for you to choose their outfit for them. If they are, then choose an outfit that is complementary to your own for the most cohesive shot. If they would find it odd if you suddenly developed a fashion sense, then you can try and match your clothes to theirs instead, or opt for neturals so that you don’t clash.

It’s likely that your outfits will fit in with whatever you’re doing the day of the proposal, so make sure to take this into consideration. Remember that you can always have an engagement photoshoot afterwards if you really want to have photos in more formal clothing.

Think about location and timing

Working with a photographer does require a bit of preparation and setup, but it also means that you’ll get the best advice on the scenery and lighting for your proposal photos. Talk with your photographer when you plan a picture perfect proposal to come up with a plan of action, and check in with them again on the day to make sure that the weather hasn’t changed your plans.

3 Proposal Photography Tips to Capture the Moment

  • Engagement ring

 

Proposal Photography Tips

Photos are all about capturing perfect moments. They freeze time in place for you to recollect on the past, conjuring memories and emotions that you can look back on. Whether of your firstborn child or you graduating from school, these pictures are often priceless.

Because these photos are so valuable, you would want to ensure that they are the best they can be, especially for important milestones, like a marriage proposal. If you need help to capture the perfect surprise proposal photo, here are some proposal phtoography tips to keep in mind.

3 Proposal Photography Tips to Capture the Moment

  1. Plan the entire proposal

Planning is key to success. While you can get away with doing everything last minute, you can get the best results if you take the time to plan. Go over as many aspects of the proposal as possible. This includes getting the ring, finding the right location for the proposal, and thinking of what you want to say when you finally do it. If you want the picture to be professional and high-quality, consider planning to hire a professional photographer as well.

Time it! Find a spot that’s memoriable and at the right time of day too! A cliff face might seem awesome, but your photos won’t look nearly as good in the middle of the day as they would during the golden hour. Your partner would appreciate the timing as more romantic too.

  1. Find a professional photographer

Speaking of professional photographers, you should try to find a photographer that is knowledgeable of the area, allowing them to position themselves strategically and snap stunning photos. Don’t be afraid to have your favourite photographer travel to your favourite spot too! Every phtoographer’s style is different, so if you love one’s specific work, hire them! Even if they live on the other side of the world!

Of course this wouldnt be cheap, but photographers are always keen on shooting destination weddings or engagements!

Once you find a photographer, be sure to share your plans. This can include the location where you are going to propose, the time you are going to show up, and the signals you will give them to show that you are “ready” to propose. This can help the photographer prepare themselves for the picture-perfect moment.

  1. Identify the location for the proposal

As far as proposal photography tips are concerned, selecting a perfect location is a vital aspect of your plan for many reasons. First, different locations will have different aesthetics, meaning your pictures will look different in different areas. Second, it will affect how “secret” a photographer can be.

For instance, if you are planning to propose in a busy area, your photographer will be able to easily blend in. On the other hand, if you want to propose somewhere else more peaceful, such as a park, the photographer will have to work a little harder to stay discreet. I like to hide in tees 🙂

Proposals can be an exciting but nerve-wracking moment in your life. Its success will hinge on not only your partner’s response but also how good your photographer is. With that said, try to stick to your plans as much as possible, but do not be afraid to wing it if needed.

If you are working with an experienced photographer, they will always be at the ready to capture the beautiful moment. Whether you get down on your knees and fully recite what you want to say or stumble around clumsily due to your nerves, a professional photographer will ensure that they capture the most beautiful moments on camera. They will freeze this momentous moment in time so that you and your loved one can cherish the experience and memory forever.
