What innovative techniques does Scott Kivowitz use in proposal photography?

Hi there!

When I photograph a lot of surprise proposals at the same location, like Princeton University, I lean hard into experimentation so things never feel cookie-cutter. I’ll often:

• Play with unexpected angles and compositions
• Use movement and interaction to create playful, candid moments
• Encourage couples to “go with the flow” so I can try new ideas on the spot

That openness from clients is what leads to those curious, creative, and super fun proposal images you’ve probably seen from me.

Are you asking as a photographer looking for ideas, or as someone planning a proposal session?
