Skip the separate engagement session.
Certain proposal sessions include an extended cinematic portrait session immediately after the proposal — the surprise moment plus a full engagement shoot, all in one. It's the best value if you're planning both. Ask about this option when you reach out and we'll walk you through how it works.

What is included in every session?
Every session includes a personal planning consultation, location guidance, naturally directed coverage so you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, a hand-edited gallery of full-resolution digital files, and an online gallery with print shop access. No AI software, no batch processing, no shortcuts.
Why are proposal sessions custom-quoted?
Every proposal is different. Location, timing, complexity, and session length all vary — and the investment should reflect your specific vision rather than a generic tier. Most sessions start at $650. Reach out and we'll give you an exact number within a few hours.
Is there a discount for booking both a proposal and an engagement session?
Yes — in two ways. Certain proposal sessions include an extended portrait session that effectively replaces a separate engagement shoot. And if you book separately, Proposal Studios clients receive an exclusive engagement credit. Ask about both options when you reach out.
Do you offer rush delivery?
Yes. Rush delivery of your full gallery within 72 hours is available for $225 on proposal sessions and $200 on engagement sessions. Proposal highlights (a curated selection perfect for sharing immediately) are always delivered within 48 hours at no extra charge.
What are the payment terms?
A 50% retainer is due to reserve your date. The balance is due upon gallery delivery. We accept all major credit cards and digital payments.
Is there a perk for booking wedding photography too?
Yes. Proposal and engagement clients receive an exclusive credit toward wedding photography with Jeremy Glickstein Photography, the sister studio of The Proposal Studios. Ask about your perk when you book.
From the proposal to the last dance.
The Proposal Studios is the sister brand of Jeremy Glickstein Photography. Proposal and engagement clients receive an exclusive credit toward wedding coverage. Same creative vision, same hand-edited care, from the first surprise to the final toast.
