On March 17, 2017 I had the honor of photographing the most stunning proposal I have ever witnessed. There were thousands of flowers, dozens of candles, and live music playing on a lake terrace for this perfect moment! Kellie was absolutely surprised! Her fiancee, Craig, lives in Boston and she thought was simply coming home from a day of fun with her sweet kids. Little did she know what was waiting for her! Great job to all the fantastic vendors who came together in just a few days to pull this off!
Kellie and Craig, congratulations to all four of you! I hope this beautiful beginning is just that, a beautiful beginning to lifelong adventures together!

This proposal was perfect. It was a complete surprise, and I was overjoyed to be a part of it as Danny had described "The Plan" to me over the past few weeks. He was going to propose inside a glass chapel at the Hot Springs Garvan Woodland Gardens. It was all in place. I was going to plant a special green box at the altar to be waiting for them.

However, as it would happen I got a call from Danny as I pulled in and he informed me that there was a wedding IN the chapel right then! Aaaaand we had no plan B. Turns out there was an amphitheater and I rearranged the plan, setting up there. And so in about an hour Danny saw the place for the first time, and without hesitating walked his girl over to the box and proposed. There were of course a few memorable words in between which I couldn't hear, but you get the picture. SO happy for them! Enjoy the photo story!
