Surprise Proposal in Alpharetta, Atlanta and nearby area

When planning a surprise marriage proposal in Atlanta, Alpharetta and around the area keep these key elements in mind for a heartfelt and memorable moment:

  • The Perfect Location. Choosing a meaningful and picturesque setting that holds sentimental value or provides a stunning backdrop for the proposal. This could be a favorite park, a scenic overlook, a romantic restaurant, or a place with personal significance to both of you.
  • Timing. Selecting the right time for the proposal is crucial. This might be during a special occasion like an anniversary, a holiday, or simply a time when you can enjoy an uninterrupted moment together.
  • Backup Plans. Having a backup plan in case of unforeseen circumstances, such as bad weather or location issues, ensures that the surprise marriage proposal can still go smoothly.
  • Personal Touches. Incorporating personal elements that reflect the couple’s relationship, such as a favorite song, a heartfelt speech, or a meaningful prop (like a photo album or a memento from your relationship).
  • Sentimental Value. Choose a location that holds personal significance to your relationship. This could be where you had your first date, shared a memorable moment, or have always talked about visiting together.
  • Privacy vs. Public. Consider whether you and your partner prefer a private, intimate setting or a more public, celebratory environment. A secluded spot can offer a quiet, romantic moment, while a public place can add an element of surprise and excitement.
  • Logistics and Permissions. Make sure you have any necessary permissions or reservations for the location, especially if it’s a popular spot or requires special access (e.g., a private garden or rooftop).

I love sharing photos and stories of my clients on my website so that others can get inspired by their example. I believe inspiration and beautiful images should be shared to spread positive vibes that can lift other women’s spirits. Do you agree that our world needs more elegance, beauty, and encouragement? Then, let’s make that happen. I also retain the copyright to the photos and the right to use them for promotional materials, competitions, professional reviews, and so on. However, if, for some personal reason, you would like to avoid your photos being published on any of my platforms, notify me about it in advance. Although I would feel sad about it, I respect your privacy and won’t publish any of them. 

No, a photographer (artist) retains the copyright for all photos. In my case, it’s me, Elena Sullivan, owner, and lead photographer at ArsVie photo studio. Copyright means that I’m the creator of the photos, and I own the copyright. Selling and obtaining the copyright is impossible, but you can print and share your photos as much as you like. 

You can publish photos on your social media and websites, include them in personal videos, print them, and use them for personal business marketing and advertising campaigns. However, you can’t sell photos for profit. And suppose you want to use them in magazines, newspapers, or other print media. In that case, you must notify me via email, get my written permission and mention my photo studio and photographer’s name alongside every photo.

The photos will be delivered to your email with a link to your online gallery. From there, you can download your photos, share the link with friends/family, and share on social media. You will have access to the gallery for one month. Make sure to download the photos within that time frame.


After your gallery is deleted, there’s a $100 replacement charge for additional downloads. I maintain a copy of your photos for one year, after which they are permanently removed. As soon as you have a link for your digital photo gallery, I recommend making at least one copy of your download on a USB/External Hard Drive/Laptop/Desktop.

The RAW images from your gallery are available for purchase at the total price of your photoshoot. 

My goal is to edit your images as close to how it was on the day of the photoshoot. This includes a color correction to look natural, your skin tones look great, and the colors sing. I avoid thick vintage or faded presets and take an editorial approach with a slight touch of the film feel to make your photos timeless.

No, the high-resolution images don’t have any watermarks. 

Yes, we can during a business week, MON-FRI, 9 AM-6 PM EST.

You can reschedule within two months of your originally booked date if you tested positive for COVID-19 before the photoshoot date. I have included a COVID rescheduling and cancellation policy in my contract. The retainer is nonrefundable. 

When planning for a photoshoot outdoors, we can control everything, apart from the weather. The only way to predict it is by following the weather forecast, which sometimes gives inaccurate information; nevertheless, I use it to plan outdoor photoshoots. If it shows 80% of rain in the area of a photoshoot, we can reschedule in the next 2-3 weeks. When the radar shows 60% or less, I recommend following our initial plan. Luck helps and smiles at brave and courageous!
