About Surprise Proposals & Engagements

The biggest challenge with a surprise proposal is not the ring, it is the timing. When I document these moments, I hide in plain sight, using a long lens so I am close enough to catch the real emotion but far enough that the surprise remains pure. You focus on the question and I will make sure the reaction is saved, from the initial shock to the first hug.

Hey, I am Parag. I believe photography is about finding the narrative in your celebration. I do not just stand there with a camera; I wait for the moments that matter, like that hesitant smile before a 'yes'.
