Amanda Darosett, owner of Will You Marry Me Photography, offers a unique service to those planning to propose: Surprise Proposal Photography. Amanda, an accomplished wedding photographer, will take a professsional photograph of the exact moment the prospective groom surprises his beloved with a marriage proposal and ring.
Imagine a couple strolling through San Diego’s Balboa Park. Suddenly, in front of a fountain, the young man drops to his knee, and surprise! He proposes. It is a beautiful moment, one of the most important and exciting in their lives.
Amanda Darosett’s Surprise Proposal Photography makes it possible to have a professional photo of that special time, the instant she said “yes!”, the very beginning of their life together. “That’s what’s so fun about Surprise Proposal Photography for me,” says Darosett, owner of Will You Marry Me Photography. “Being able to capture the immediate expression of joy and surprise on her face for all time, creating a family keepsake they will always treasure, that’s a wonderful feeling.” The image created is one that can be shared with friends and family over the years, and a natural way to begin building the wedding album. Darosett, who will pose as a passing tourist or hide in the bushes to get the right shot, coordinates all the details for professional photographs of a surprise proposal.
Client Andy B told Darosett he wanted to “knock her socks off” when he proposed to his fiance Nikki. A weekend getaway at the Ritz Carleton in Laguna Nigel was the setting. Andy pulled Nikki onto the dance floor after a romantic dinner and then surprised her by dropping to his knee to pop the question.
Best of all, Amanda Darosett’s Surprise Proposal Photography was there to create a lasting memory of Nikki’s excitement, delight and love. As part of her expanded services, Darosett scouted the location earlier in the evening to find just the right spot to document for Andy and Nikki, and for their families, the exact moment she said “yes!”.

10 creative ways to propose
My name is Amanda Darosett owner and photographer for Will You Marry Me Photography. I love everything about weddings, from the proposal to the wedding day. I have searched the web for many different ways to propose. There are many great ways to propose such as asking her to marry you on a beach or in a park, gathering her family and closet friends to surprise her. You could take her out to dinner, to sport game, ask her to marry you in front of the Christmas tree, ask her to marry you in a limousine or a carriage. With all those ideas in mind, I created a “Top 10 Proposal Idea” list. When you have me as your photographer, I will capture the moment, leaving your with priceless pictures for a lifetime. Every time your fiancé and you look at the pictures of your day, you will remember the way you felt the day she say yes! www.willyoumarrymephotography.com
1. Decorate a Christmas tree. Tell her you have hired a professional photographer to come over and take holiday photos in front of the tree. When you get on one knee to ask her to marry you, I will be there to capture the moment.
2. Take her to dinner at her favorite restaurant. Arrange with the waiter to have the the diamond as one of the choices on the dessert tray. I will coordinate with the hostess and waiter and at the moment I will discreetly move across the room photographing your proposal.
3. Take her on a Trolley Ride in Old Town. We will work with the trolley driver to stop in the right spot so that we get the best photograph. In front of the open doors of the trolley ask her to marry you. I will be there walking around taking pictures like a tourist ready to capture her expression.
4. Take her on a romantic carriage ride in Seaport Village. I will get there early to arrange with the carriage driver the best place for him to stop for your proposal. I will be hiding in the brushed prepared to photograph you popping the question.
5. Take her for a surprise picnic at Balboa Park. On a bottle of Champagne, tie a note to it asking her to marry you with the ring. When she realizes what is on the champagne bottle, be ready to get on your knee and propose. I will be across the way capturing the moment.
6. Rent a limousine for the evening and be inside when they pick her up from home or work. As you are headed to an elegant restaurant for a romantic dinner, present her with the diamond. I will be up front with the driver and when you are ready to propose, the driver will roll down the privacy window for me to capture the moment.
7. Order a dozen red roses and pick them up yourself at the shop. Write a card to ask “Will You Marry Me?”. When you meet her for dinner, be waiting with the roses. Once she is reading the card, get on one knee to propose. I will be in the distance capturing her expression from the time she reads the card to the time she says yes!
8. If neither of you are afraid of heights, arrange a hot air balloon ride. When you arrive to the balloon, have a huge banner that says “Will You Marry Me?” I will be right there to capture her expression when she reads the sign.
9. Plan a casual dinner with all of your friends and families. I will be a “guest” of one of your friends. Ask her to marry you in front of everyone. Your casual dinner is now a party!!
10. Take her for a sunset stroll on the beach. Take her to a certain spot on the beach to propose. Prior to arriving at that spot, I will write Marry Me in the sand. I will be waiting up above as you propose to her next to the sand written Marry Me. Can you imagine how awesome that photograph will be? What a way to remember the day she says yes!

Andy's Story
If you are reading this and you have not asked the life changing question yet, consider yourself a lucky person! I never thought I could pull off my proposal with such style and grace. I had brainstormed with friends, family and anyone who would listen and asked for advice on how to make the moment magical. I received the same response which goes something like this: " Drop the ring into a martini glass, do it on the cliffs at sunset". The list goes on and they are really great ideas, but there is a way to blow the norm way out of the water and knock the socks off your soon to be spouse.
Here is how it went down..........
It went down at the Ritz Carlton In Laguna Nigel. I pulled my fiancé out on the dance floor, went down on one knew and asked her to MARRY ME. The look on my fiancé’s face is worth a thousand words. Amanda captured one of the most important days of our life. We will remember that night for the rest of our lives and I can revisit that exact moment every time I look at the pictures...........
