If you’re looking for inspiration for a Como Park Zoo & Conservatory proposal, Olivia and Dan’s moment is the perfect example. Their proposal at Como Park in St. Paul, MN was emotional, intimate, and beautifully planned. The gardens, walkways, and soft fall light created a peaceful setting for their big yes.

A Como Park proposal happens in just a few seconds. Those reactions deserve to be captured clearly and intentionally. A professional photographer makes that possible. When you work with a professional, you don’t have to rely on a friend, worry about angles, or hope your phone focuses in time.

Hiring a photographer allows you to stay fully present. You can focus on the moment, not the logistics. A professional knows how to work with lighting, movement, and emotion, which ensures every part of the proposal feels natural and documented with care. These images become the story you share for years.

Proposal photos should feel timeless, joyful, and true to you. With a professional, you get more than a snapshot. You get a full story — the setup, the anticipation, the surprise, and the celebration.

If you’re starting to plan your own Como Park proposal, or if you have a feeling your boyfriend might be getting ready to pop the question soon, I would love to capture this once-in-a-lifetime memory for you!

Proposals are some of the most meaningful moments I get to document, and it’s an honor to help couples remember the exact feeling of their yes!
