Proposal

This proposal at the beautiful Ritz Carlton Beach Club in Sarasota, FL was so beautiful. Lou hired a picnic company Posh Picnic to set up a boho stunning picnic as the backdrop

to propose to his girlfriend Alyssa.  The weather held out for us and we got some amazing shots of the happy couple after the proposal. Congatulations you two. Hope you are loving

I could not think of a more stunning location that the Ritz Carlton Beach Club on Lido Key to do a surprise proposal. I was so happy to be able to capture Chris getting down on one knee and proposing to Katie. We ended up having such a beautiful night/sunset to take some photos after the surprise.  Thanks so much you two! I hope you are enjoying your gallery

Ben & Molly’s South Lido Beach Proposal was so beautiful! Two chicks and a picnic set up a beautiful boho themed picnic for them complete with roses and a sign that said Molly will you marry me.  It was a complete surprise to Molly, I was so glad I got the chance to be there for this big moment in their lives.

The weather and sunset could not have been more picture perfect. Thanks so much for allowing me to be there. Enjoy your full gallery

I absolutely love Siesta Key Beach sessions but when they are a surprise proposal mid session, its extra special. Dallas let me in on the plan to propose to Katie a few months back and I could not wait to capture that moment! These two are so sweet. Wishing them all the best in their future and wedding planning. Hope you all are enjoying the full gallery

I can’t tell how excited I am to finally be sharing this beautiful proposal! It was a lot of planning to make perfect, the location I had to change due to red tide but all worked out for the best! Behind the scenes, Jeff’s brother and I made many circles around the busy rooftop bar to pick the right location that wasnt in the sun. We tried to reserve this big couch overlooking Marina Jacks and got up as soon we got the text that they were on their way up. The plan was for Jeff, Alex & her parents to come in and sit down. I would go over to them and say I worked for the hotel’s social media and wanted to take a photo. Jeff would get down on one knee.  Then an extra surprise of HIS parents would come out (they had flown down for the proposal) and the rest would be history. It worked perfectly and by the time it was done the whole rooftop was clapping! What an amazingly sweet night with this couple and their family. I can’t wait to see where their love story takes them. Hope you enjoy the sneak peeks!

I couldn’t be more excited to share Emily  & Ian’s Siesta Key Beach proposal session. This was a long time coming. Ian wrote me a few months ago  inquiring about proposing to his girlfriend but I stopped hearing from him after a while. I got a message from his girlfriend Emily asking about a couple’s session that she wanted to book with her boyfriend. She had no idea he had written me already, she just ended up picking the same photographer he was talking to. What a small world. Anyhow, she booked her own surprise proposal session. We were suppose to shoot at sunset but had to move the session up to sunrise because of hurricane Elsa. It worked out so perfectly, as it was nice weather and hardly anyone was on the beach at the time. Thanks so much for letting me capture this moment for you guys. Hope you enjoy the full gallery!

I loved meeting up with the Wightman Family to capture their vacation on Siesta Key as well as their daughter Amanda’s surprise proposal in the middle of the session.

Matt, her boyfriend had the idea of writing on chalkboards and then showing each other what they wrote for one of the pictures.  I told them to write one thing they loved about

each other, little did she know what he was writing was lifechanging. It was incredibly sweet!  Congrates Amanda, Matt & Wightman Family. Hope you are enjoying your sneak peek photos!

I absolutely love photographing surprise proposals, I can’t say that enough. What a way to start off my sessions again ❤ John wanted to propose close to sunset at the private beach at their family condo on Siesta Key during a little weekend getaway they took at the last minute. A very surprised Caroline said Yes to forever! It was such a sweet session and one I will always remember. Congratulations John & Caroline, and thank you for letting photograph your sweet proposal! PS: Gentlemen take note! This is one of the ways to your ladies heart! Having a surprise photographer to photograph that special moment. I promise you guys will cherish the photos forever.

[Picture this]:40 minutes until the sunset, with hardly anyone on the roof of the Aloft hotel out walks this beautiful couple.. Within 5 minutes he is down on one knee and asked her to spend forever with him. The perfect end to his recreated first date with her. Within minutes her family, his family and friends were running out the doors to congratulate the newly engaged couple. I bet you she never forgets 11.11.19! It was beautiful, sweet and I was happy to be able to capture the whole thing. Congratulations Ryan & Amanda! Enjoy your sneak peek. <3 “Asked her mama for permission and her daddy for her hand. She don’t know I got some big, big plans”
