Engagement and Surprise Proposal Photography in Gretna

Gretna and the surrounding Westbank offer several options for engagement portraits and surprise proposals, including historic streets, riverfront settings, parks, restaurants, and private venues.

For surprise proposals, I help coordinate the photography plan before the moment happens. We'll discuss the location, timing, lighting, and where I'll be positioned so I can capture the proposal naturally.

Afterward, we can take a few relaxed couple portraits to document the excitement and celebration.

I also photograph engagement sessions for couples who want portraits before their wedding or photographs for announcements and invitations.
