I have been a part of many romantic proposals. Still, the one that I got to coordinate and photograph was something straight out of a romantic movie.
The proposal had a lot of flowers, candles, and a beautiful fireplace on a boutique by the beach setting that took everyone's breath away. It took a team and much planning and hiding to ensure Talia was surprised.
It all started with a call from Talia's best friend in Miami, who was looking to help surprise her with the romantic proposal she always wanted. Jorge was able to keep it all secret.
There were reservations, gorgeous bouquets of flowers, a warm fireplace, a path of candles, champagne, a neon sign, and more excitement than we could hold. It was one of those moments when you had to be there. It was breathtaking. As a photographer and coordinator, I was happy to help bring his vision to life.
There were a lot of moving pieces and excitement!! Working with HDQ Florist in Palm Coast was lovely, and the Golden Magnolia Resort made it extra special for them. Also, they could enjoy a delicious dinner at Osteria Rustica, one of our favorite places.
Talia was completely unaware of what was about to happen. When they reached the top, Jorge walked her to the fireplace and came down to one knee to have his best friend marry him. Talia was completely taken aback, and tears filled her eyes.
As a photographer, I was snapping away, capturing every moment of their joy and happiness. It was a truly magical moment, and I felt lucky to be there to witness it.
The candles flickered in the background, making the cold night warm and glowing. The love on their faces and her EXCITEMENT! It was like something out of a romantic comedy movie, and I couldn't help but feel like I was a part of something extraordinary.
After the proposal, we took more photos of the newly engaged couple, and they were beaming with joy and excitement. It was clear that this was a moment that they would never forget.
As a photographer and coordinator, moments like these make me love my job even more. Being able to help create a proposal and capture the raw emotions of the moment is truly special, and I feel privileged to have been a part of it.
We wish the happy couple all the best in their future together and hope their engagement is just the start of a lifetime of love and happiness. We cannot wait until their wedding day!
You don't have to do it alone. Here is a team to make your proposal special to you and your loved one.
