ACADIA + MAINE SURPRISE PROPOSALS
CRAFTING BESPOKE EXPERIENCES TO MAKE YOUR PROPOSAL TRULY UNFORGETTABLE
Because they deserve a proposal that feels intentional, elevated, and completely unforgettable — the kind of moment they’ll relive for the rest of their life.
Now comes the moment that deserves to be remembered — not just for how it looked, but how it felt.
From Maine’s rugged cliffs + coastlines to quiet beaches and lighthouses, I’ll help you design a proposal that’s intentional, effortless, and deeply personal.
Your person deserves a moment that honors your relationship — one that truly showcases how much you love them.
You’ve found your person.
All you have to do is say yes to the moment — and I’ll preserve it in timeless photographs you’ll treasure forever.You could spend hours researching the perfect location, timing, and lighting — hoping everything aligns.
Or you could hand it all over to someone who’s done this hundreds of times.
I’ll help you find the most private, picturesque spot, plan every detail seamlessly, and make sure you’re free to focus on the only thing that matters: asking the question.

“I don’t even know where to begin — Janelle made our proposal day feel like an actual dream. From the very first call, she was kind, patient, deeply attentive, and somehow knew exactly how to translate the messy whirlwind of emotions in my head into the most beautiful and personal setup I could’ve imagined.
She helped me plan every single detail of the proposal: the location, the timing, the music, the setup — and even accommodated my last-minute requests like adding fairy lights, a wooden crate, personal polaroids, and a custom letter from Etsy (which she was kind enough to receive herself!). Everything was executed so seamlessly, and it felt so “us.”
The photos she captured? Absolutely stunning. She was invisible when she needed to be and fully present at just the right moments. She even handled unexpected weather with grace and calm, so we never felt worried or flustered. It felt like a friend was helping us through this once-in-a-lifetime moment — someone who genuinely cared.
Janelle doesn’t just take beautiful pictures — she creates magic. If you’re thinking of proposing in Maine and want someone who will listen, guide, and go above and beyond, stop looking. Janelle is the one.”

“A few weeks ago I was lucky to propose to my now fiance at Acadia national park.
Initially I was a little worried about the weather, however Janelle had suggested to embrace the weather and so we did. Not only did my fiance and I shared a magical moment together, Janelle managed to capture it in such a beautiful and thoughtful way that we will appreciate forever.
Ana and I will forever be thankful for her service, professionalism and wonderful photography.
For those people planning a surprise proposal for their significant other, I would highly suggest reaching out to Janelle! She helped me pick out flowers, a spot, and provided us with picnic setup and Champaign. Her attention to detail and care goes above and beyond what I would have expected. She picked out a beautiful bouquet not only looked beautiful but accented our pictures.
We especially appreciated how she took time to take candid pictures, making us feel like we were in our own special moment alone and still being able to capture it without it being distracting.
She gave us a little bit of direction for a few picture and those are our favorites!
Needless to say, we are extremely grateful for having Janelle capture our special moment so that we can share it with our friends and family. Thank you <3”
From start to finish, your proposal will be seamlessly planned — the location, the timing, the light — all handled for you.
Most people hope their proposal turns out OK. You choose to be intentional — and that alone tells me you’re the kind of person who doesn’t leave meaningful moments to chance.
You value intention, artistry, and meaning. You care about how this moment will feel years from now.
And that makes choosing me one of the smartest decisions you’ll make.
