Whether it is a quiet corner in the city or a cinematic skyline abroad, I make sure the surprise stays a secret until the moment you drop to one knee. ## Photos and videos - ![The plan in motion.

I arrive thirty minutes before you do to scope out the lighting and blend into the surroundings, ensuring I stay invisible while you handle the big moment. After the surprise, we always transition into a sixty-minute portrait session so you have time to let the excitement sink in without rushing for the camera. ### Behind the Surprise My approach to proposal photography is built on stealth and timing. You get a virtual consultation before the big day, where we finalize your standing position, signaling, and the best lighting spots. I do not just show up and hope for the best; I scout the location to ensure the background looks perfect, whether that is a bustling city rooftop or a calm beach at sunset. ### More Than Just the "Yes" While the moment of the proposal is the headline, the immediate aftermath is where the real stories happen. My packages include that crucial hour post-proposal for a mini-shoot. This is when the adrenaline starts to fade and you can share those first few laughs as an engaged couple. I use this time to capture natural, unscripted portraits without any awkward posing instructions. ### Planning for Perfection If you opt for the Cinematic Story package, we go a step further. I work with decorators to ensure the setup—the candles, the florals, the lighting—looks impeccable on camera. We even use off-camera flashes or continuous video lights to ensure your night portraits look as dramatic and high-end as the rest of your gallery. You get high-speed burst capture during the proposal, ensuring we do not miss a single micro-expression of shock or joy. Whether you are planning in Mumbai or abroad, my goal is the same: to create a gallery that feels like home, filled with raw emotion rather than staged perfection. ## About Knot Shots We are Knot Shots, and we are absolute suckers for a good love story.
