3 Tips to Amp Up Your Wedding Proposal

A version of this article was first published on Taylored Photo Memories‘ blog.

It was such an honor to be able to be the only other person in the room during such an intimate and personal question from one person to another.

I got to see the groom-to-be nervously pace back and forth while his bride-to-be was taking her time before coming up to the room.

It was such a neat experience and I wanted to share these 3 special tips to make your marriage proposal in Las Vegas a stress-free and fun occasion!

1. Hire help

Whether you get help from the Las Vegas resort staff or hire a professional, try to get some help involved.

You are most likely coming in to Las Vegas from afar and don’t know the lay of the land. You will be more stressed and this may irritate your partner!

Keep your cool and get organized before you make the trip to Las Vegas.

There is a company called The Heart Bandits help specifically in this area. They come up with unique proposal ideas and provide proposal planning.

3 Tips to Amp Up Your Wedding Proposal

2. Decide whether you want a public proposal or an intimate in-suite Las Vegas proposal

There is a great amount of intimacy involved in a in-suite proposal and less chance for chaos.

Doing your proposal outdoors or at a public location provides you with an audience that will create  laughter and excitement.

The images in an outdoor setting also have the potential to be more varied and allow the photographer to cover more space!

3. Take photos after the Las Vegas proposal ideas are complete

It’s likely that your new fiancé will not have been prepared for your spontaneous proposal and may not have been wearing what he or she had wanted.

Make sure to give them the chance to change and spruce up for a night on the town and take some photos together on the Las Vegas Strip, inside your resort or at another awesome location!

This will provide for some fun memories from your day and will make your images more varied and different!
