Surprise-Proposal & Portrait Specialist • Same-Day
Sneak Peek • On-Site Prints
Can I focus on you?
Military, Teacher & Medical Professional discounts available.
I help couples nail the “yes.” I’ve photographed 200+ proposals and portraits across the DMV. You’ll get a clear map pin + timing plan + decoy text so the surprise stays safe. After the moment, I deliver a same-day sneak peek (5-8 favorites) and a 48-hour online gallery-and I can do on-site prints within 1 hour.
I’m fully insured and shoot on professional Canon gear. Most sessions are in DC, NOVA & MD

It was truly a pleasure working with Reggie. He arrived early just as he promised. He took all of the pictures I requested and worked very well with my family and friends. I will definitely use Kona Blue again!

Reggie was absolutely amazing. I had made a very last minute request and Reggie was prompt in his responses, accommodating to my and my fiancees requests and was a breeze to work with. He even suggested the exact location for the proposal mentioning how it would look great in the pictures. All the pictures shared were amazing.
10/10 would recommend!
