Thinking About Booking an Engagement Shoot or Surprise Proposal in Oahu?
How the Booking Process Works for Engagement Photography in Oahu
Booking your engagement session or surprise proposal is exciting and it doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. At Tone Studio, we keep the process simple, clear, and stress-free from start to finish. Here’s exactly how it works once you’re ready to reserve your date:
Step 1: Intro Call & Deposit
We’ll start by responding to your inquiry email or a quick call to hear your ideas and see if we’re the right fit. You can fill a contact form out here.
Once you’re ready, we’ll send an invoice for a 30% deposit and a contract. When that’s paid, your date is officially locked into our calendar!
Contract: You’ll receive a contract to review and sign. It covers all the essentials:
Session time
Location(s)
Number of included images
Deliverables
Add-on options
Policies
Step 3: Planning & Scout Photos
Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll send you scout photos of potential locations so you can visualize what your shoot might look like. Whether it’s a romantic beach, a dramatic cliffside, or a lush garden, we’ll help you choose the perfect backdrop and best timing for light and privacy.
Step 4: Style & Prep Guides
You’ll also get our what to wear guide (including what to avoid) and prep tips so you know exactly what to bring for the session.
Step 5: The Engagement Session
On the day of your shoot, simply show up and enjoy. We’ll guide you through natural posing and candid moments—no modeling experience required. Just the two of you being yourselves.
Step 6: Sneak Peeks and proof gallery
Within a few days, you’ll receive a handful of sneak peek photos shared via social media only so you can relive the excitement right away!
We will upload all the photos from your session to a digital proof gallery. From there you can select your favorite images.
Step 7: Final Gallery
Your full, high-resolution engagement gallery will be delivered digitally within the agreed-upon timeline (typically 4 weeks). You’ll be able to download, share, and order prints with ease.
