Candid Beach Engagement Shoot

Job ID: 39937431

Budget: $250 – $750 AUD

I’m planning a surprise beachfront proposal and need a discreet photographer who can blend into the surroundings, capture the big “yes,” and then transition into a relaxed mini-session while emotions are still fresh.

Here’s what I have in mind:
• Style – candid, documentary-style storytelling rather than posed portraits.
• Location – an outdoor beach or waterfront spot at lennox heads, Pat Morton Lookout; I’m open to your suggestions on exact timing for the best natural light. I was thinking 4pm at the lookout. move to the beach for some more photos till 6 or earlier if it doesn't take long.
• Coverage – roughly 1.5–2 hours total: 20-minute stealth shoot of the proposal itself, followed by about an hour of casual couple shots and detail close-ups once the secret is out.
• Deliverables – a curated online gallery with at least 40 fully edited high-resolution images plus social-media-ready versions. Light retouching (color, exposure, skin) is plenty; no heavy airbrushing needed.
• Turnaround – preview highlights within 48 hours so we can share the news quickly, with the full set delivered in two weeks.

If you have experience staying invisible in public settings, know how to work with natural light, and can suggest subtle signals so we recognize you without tipping off my partner, I’d love to see a few relevant samples and hear how you’d approach the moment.
