Setting the Scene:
It was an ordinary Saturday afternoon, with the sun casting a warm glow over the park where Sarah and Mark often enjoyed spending quality time together. Little did Sarah know that this day would be unlike any other. Mark had been meticulously planning a surprise proposal that would not only sweep Sarah off her feet but also create a memory they would cherish forever. And it would take place in her parents Battery Creek neighborhood with her loved ones nearby.
The Prelude:
Mark had enlisted the help of close friends and family to set the stage for this special moment. As Sarah and Mark strolled through the park, they stumbled upon a beautiful gazebo adorned with fairy lights and flowers. Unbeknownst to Sarah, this was the first glimpse of the enchanting surprise that awaited her.
The Surprise Unveiled:
As they approached the gazebo, a guitarist hidden in the background began playing their favorite song.

In the end, it was not the grandeur of the setting or the magnitude of the surprise that made this wedding proposal unforgettable. It was the genuine love, thoughtfulness, and commitment that Mark poured into creating a magical moment for Sarah. Love has a way of surprising us, and sometimes, it’s those unexpected surprises that etch the most beautiful memories into the canvas of our lives.
I had the honor of not only witnessing this incredibly thoughtful proposal, but creating beautiful images to capture such an important and joyful day in their lives. The fact that Tom was so kind every time we spoke and Liv felt like an old friend from the moment we met, well that was just the icing on the cake. I’m so thankful that these two beautiful souls will be joining their lives together and meeting them truly is a blessing.
Tom reached out to me a few MONTHS before he intended to propose. At that point, I had no idea that he had already flown in from _____ to ask Liv’s parents for permission to marry their daughter. The whole story unfolded after Tom proposed and both his and her parents went over to congratulate them. Not only was Liv shocked that Tom was able to fly into South Carolina, meet with her parents for lunch, fly back home, and tell a story to cover for the DELAYED departure, she couldn’t believe the ability everyone had to keep the secret for so long!
“I can’t believe all the sneakiness that took place.”
Tom and Liv,
Thank you again for entrusting me to photograph your wedding proposal while you were here in Beaufort, SC
