01 / The plan

Tell me the plan privately

Start with a planning call. Share the date you’re considering, your location ideas and the safest way to communicate without spoiling the surprise.

02 / The plan

Work through the details

We’ll discuss where you’ll stand, the light, how I’ll recognize you and what to do if the weather or timing changes.

03 / The plan

Stay in the moment

Ask your question and enjoy what happens next. We can make space afterward for a few photographs together.

Before your session

A few details.

Can you help choose the location?

Yes. We can discuss downtown and coastal options around Wilmington, including access, crowds, light and any required permissions.

Can the proposal stay a surprise?

We’ll agree on a discreet communication plan. Use an email and calendar your partner cannot see, and tell Glenn about any shared notifications before scheduling.

Do you offer proposal video?

We can discuss photography, video or both during planning. Coverage and availability need to be confirmed before your proposal.
