Jessica & Joseph’s Secret Proposal at Charlestowne Landing

I have a confession. Joseph and I have been in cahoots for several weeks! We’ve been sneaking around behind Jessica’s back, sending cryptic messages and false emails to throw her off our trail. Why? Well, we’ve been planning this AMAZING secret proposal for the love of his life!!! šŸ™‚

This morning, the big day FINALLY arrived! It was so cool to watch Joseph lead his beautiful girlfriend down the elegant avenue of oaks at Charlestowne Landing, where he asked her to marry him on bended knee under a cathedral of giant trees.

To our knowledge, this is the first time anyone has captured a proposal this magical place. Many thanks to Courtney and the fine folks at Charlestowne Landing for all their help in making this happen!

CONGRATULATIONS to Jessica & Joseph! You guys are amazing together! eHarmony should be VERY proud!!! šŸ™‚

Casey & Bekah’s Secret Proposal at Magnolia Plantation

It’s rare to find true love as genuine as Casey & Bekah’s!!!

A few days ago I had the pleasure of photographing Casey’s secret proposal to Bekah. He and I had been diligently planning every detail of this special moment for months! Finally the big day arrived…and it turned out absolutely PERFECT!!!

Casey had a full day planned out for the two of them, involving sight-seeing together, a picnic at the beach, and eventually a tour of Magnolia Plantation & Gardens. The grand finale of their fairy-tale day was him asking her to be his wife, on bended knee, under this beautiful cathedral of oaks.

“May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.”
– Irish Blessing

CONGRATULATIONS Casey & Bekah!

Tony & Courtney’s Proposal

It was the end of a long day. I’d already had a full schedule of assignments. But when my friend Robbin asked me to help Tony out, a friend of our mutual friend, Trevor, how could I resist. After all, he was planning to propose to his girlfriend!!!

I absolutely love photographing secret wedding proposals. It’s fun to hide and play “sniper”. But more importantly, it’s such a joy to witness this beautiful once-in-a-lifetime event in a couple’s lives!

Tony & I had grand plans for his proposal at White Point Garden, also known as Battery Park. But not knowing what was in store, Courtney was not playing along! She just didn’t understand why he had to stop and see his “client” before dinner? And why did he have to park so far away, forcing them to walk through the park? But in the end, it worked out PERFECT!!!

Even though they’ve known each other for 7 years, Courtney was completely surprised! For the record, she did say “yes”. šŸ™‚ Well done, Tony…you are THE MAN! Congratulations to you both…
