How to Plan a Surprise Proposal She’ll Never Forget (South Florida Edition)
You’ve got the ring. You’ve got the love of your life. Now what?
Planning a surprise proposal is one of the most exciting—and nerve-wracking—moments of your life. At Our Story Imagery, we’ve helped many men pull off unforgettable proposals in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. Here's how to plan a flawless surprise she'll love telling her friends about.



1. Pick the Right Spot
Choose a location that has emotional meaning or just feels like you two. Beachside sunsets, city rooftops, or garden paths are all great options. Not sure where to go? We’ll help you pick from the most romantic proposal spots in South Florida.
2. Time It Perfectly
Lighting is everything. Golden hour (just before sunset) is ideal for soft, romantic photos. We’ll coordinate your timeline down to the minute—so you’re not fumbling with the ring in the dark.
3. Keep It Authentic
The best proposals are personal. Whisper an inside joke. Pull out a handwritten note. Tell her why she’s the one. Those little things? They show up beautifully on camera.
4. Have a Photographer in Place
A surprise proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Don’t rely on a shaky phone video from a stranger. Our discreet setup captures every gasp, tear, and “yes!”—so you can relive it forever.
5. Celebrate Right After
After she says yes, pop some champagne or walk into a surprise engagement party. We’ll stick around to capture the celebration. These candid post-proposal photos? They’re gold.
