Beach and Specialty Proposals

Proposals are one of my favorite moments to capture—raw, emotional, and unforgettable. I specialize in beach and specialty proposals, creating an experience as unique as your love story. Whether you're dreaming of a beautifully staged setup with florals, candles, and custom signs or a simple, intimate moment with just the two of you and the waves, I’m here to help bring your vision to life. I can connect you with trusted local vendors for staging, or we can keep it sweet and spontaneous. Scroll through to see a glimpse of the magic I’ve had the honor of capturing.

Living and working in the Bradenton, Sarasota, and Anna Maria Island area means I know all the best hidden spots, crowd-free beaches, and dreamy sunset timing to make your proposal feel like a fairytale. Just show up, and let the magic unfold.

🌟 Optional Add-Ons:

• Highlight video
• Champagne toast after the “yes”
• Styled picnic setup on the beach with help from a local vendor

✨ Here’s what clients are saying about their proposal experience…

“I had the pleasure of hiring Kim Markgraf for my son's engagement, and I couldn't be happier! She captured every special moment beautifully. The photos are absolutely stunning—full of love and joy. I can't thank her enough for her incredible work. These photos will be treasured for a lifetime, and I highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a talented photographer!”
