As much as I LOVE being a Southwest Florida wedding photographer and documenting all the beautiful wedding days, I looooove being able to document all the intimate moments before (and after!!) your wedding day. This Naples, Florida, surprise proposal was so sweet and so much fun! Being able to capture one of the best days of your life is a dream for me!! The look of pure excitement, surprise, and happiness - there’s nothing quite like it! I am so happy for Sky and Rachel, and I wish them all the love and happiness!!🍾


Sky and Rachel’s Naples, Florida, surprise proposal was so well thought-out, and it made the moment even more special!! Rachel's sister found me on Instagram through another proposal I photographed - Kate & Connor! How fun is that?! She forwarded my details to Sky, and he took it from there, and planned the most BEAUTIFUL day for Rachel! They were traveling down with both families from St. Louis, MO, over Thanksgiving and found the perfect spot for the big surprise! Rachel was so shocked and happy, and, of course - SHE SAID YES!!💍


After celebrating their engagement with their loved ones and each other, we ventured into the surrounding areas for those dreamy “just engaged” portraits! Perks of hiring a photographer for your surprise proposal?! You have the most beautiful images to share with all your loved ones! We strolled the nearby streets, and it was so much fun to see these two smile, laugh, dance together, and just fully soak up the moments!


Trust me, you’ll NEVER regret having these special memories documented forever! Just imagine - in ten years, twenty years, or even fifty years, you can look back and be taken back to these exact moments! How special is that?!


So, why not have me document the BEST moments of your life?! Whether that’s your intimate elopement, surprise proposal, or dream wedding day - I’m your girl! Let’s bring your dreams to life and celebrate your love!! Head here to see how we can work together!
