Cody & Mandi | Branson Proposal Photographer

October 19, 2022 by Virginia

BRANSON PROPOSAL PHOTOGRAPHER

Cody & Mandi’s Branson proposal was one of my favorite proposals of 2022! Cody planned an absolutely great proposal! Not only did he surprise Mandi with a ring at Top of the Rock, he also surprised her with her family! She had no idea they had followed them to Top of the Rock to witness the proposal! If you’re looking for a Branson proposal photographer, head on over to my contact form. I photograph more proposals in Branson than anyone else, and I absolutely love doing it! I would love the opportunity help you plan and capture that special day!

*Branson Proposal & Family Photography was formerly Amy Fillinger Photography. I’ve had a few people ask about the old watermark on some blog photos, but I promise we are the same photography business. =)

Cody planned his proposal perfectly and even made sure they were in the shade!

I love capturing that special moment!

 

A lot of our proposals are at Top of the Rock right by the chapel, and that’s where Cody wanted to propose! Top of the Rock is gorgeous, and after the proposal and engagement photos, most couples have dinner reservations at the restaurant right there. At sunset they also shoot off a cannon which is pretty cool, and is a great end to a memorable evening.

Cody & Mandi are such a cute couple!

It isn’t always possible to capture a sunset like this, but the universe worked with us for this proposal!

 

TOP OF THE ROCK PROPOSAL

Getting down to the chapel at Top of the Rock can be a little confusing for first time goers. Cody and Mandi somehow ended up coming down some rocks and onto the golf course that borders the chapel area, and to this day none of us are sure how that happened! I watched them come down the golf course from the restaurant area and approached them to let them know the gates would be locked and they’d have to climb over. I have to say that climbing over a fence in a dress is impressive, but Mandi did it with ease! Once they were over the fence, I went back to blending in and pretending to photograph random things. Cody then led Mandi over to the area he wanted to propose at, and the rest is history!

This isn’t the first time I’ve had to approach a client that I was supposed to be “hiding” from, and it won’t be the last. Thankfully, I am pretty quick on my feet and just pretend to be a friendly stranger helping out with whatever issue has popped up for the proposal. I once had to approach a client at Top of the Rock and pretend I was waiting for a family because the elevator to the chapel was closed and our originally agreed upon area wasn’t accessible. I kind of gestured to where would be the best spot for photos, and said that the view was “pretty” over on that balcony. Thankfully that client picked up on my hint and that proposal also went off without another hitch while his soon-to-be fiancé had no clue I was there for them!

Have I mentioned proposal and engagement photos are my favorite?

I was so excited when the sky gave us this beautiful sight! Congratulations Cody & Mandi!!

 

Even though it was the middle of July, it was the perfect evening for photos! We got super lucky with some overcast and that allowed us to get some awesome photos we can’t normally get when the sun is out, and we also lucked out with an incredible sunset!

Hi, I'm Virginia! I specialize in proposal, engagement, and extended family reunion photography! ☺️

Branson Proposal & Family Photography
It was a great day for another Branson Landing pro It was a great day for another Branson Landing proposal! Emily was a little suspicious that Nick was driving under the speed limit so that they got to the Landing at the right time, but he still managed to surprise her with a proposal in front of the fountains! She said yes! I had so much fun with Nick and Emily getting these engagement photos. The Branson Landing has so many spots that are perfect for photos, and you’d never suspect you’re next to a shopping center! Also, after the proposal, a guy came up to us and had recorded the proposal on his phone and sent it to Nick! Sadly, the guy lives in Alaska, so hiring him as my videographer would be a tad impractical, but seriously though, how awesome is that? I’ll admit I’m a little surprised that hasn’t happened before today! I would definitely start recording someone’s proposal for them in the “wild” if I saw it and wasn’t the hired photographer! Here are a few of my favorites from their session! Congrats again you two!! 😄

I feel like my photo sessions are always fun (for I feel like my photo sessions are always fun (for something a lot of people seem to dread lol), but the best ones are the ones full of laughter and joy! My photoshoot with the Miller crew is definitely a photoshoot that I will sit editing with a goofy grin on my face the whole time! We got so many fun photos! And this was definitely one of the happiest two year olds I’ve photographed this year, despite it being pretty chilly! 😄

The ducks wanted to be part of some of the photos, but they just didn’t know they were supposed to sit in front of the group for the best results! Isn’t that pom-pom hat the cutest thing ever on the little one? 😍 I don’t love the cold, but I am loving the winter outfits my clients have been wearing!

It was overcast for most of the session, which is perfect for photos, and there was a little bit of light rain about halfway through, but the sprinkles didn’t stop us from being able to get a ton of amazing photos! I absolutely love working with seniors and getting to be creative with locations and poses. I hope you guys love these photos as much as I do! Be on the lookout for a second sneak peak featuring Maddy - we got so many awesome shots, I couldn’t narrow down my favorites! 😁

I met up with the Burris family yesterday at Dogwo I met up with the Burris family yesterday at Dogwood Canyon for some autumn family photos! It was a tad warmer than we expected, but the leaves on the trees are in full color and beautiful! Also, I think they totally nailed these outfits! 😍 I had so much fun taking these photos, though I bet if you ask the kids, I made them take photos for hooooooours. 😉 Thankfully I work quickly, so nobody actually has to endure hours of family photos with me. I imagine almost nobody wants to pose for photos for hours at a time, but if so, I’d be down for it! 🤪😆 Here’s a little sneak peak of my favorites! 😃
