Engagement Photos on the Beach (Literally!)

Joe called a few weeks ago asking if I would photograph him and his girlfriend. But this wasn’t just any photo shoot - Joe was going to propose to Megan during the shoot! Even though this is not a “wedding story”, every romantic in the world will enjoy this one, and I just couldn’t resist sharing it!

Megan had no clue and let me tell you, Joe went all out for his true love! He booked a hotel room in Treasure Island, FL, and prepared it with all the trimmings; roses, champagne, and cake…He even scattered rose petals around the room. He had been running around all day and calling me to arrange the details to make this the perfect date…and it was!

Joe was unbelievably calm during the shoot and just clowned around and had fun. He brought a beach bag with a towel as a ploy to hide the ring (even though Megan had insisted that it really was not necessary). We got lots of great shots and the just as the lighting was right, we got a few beautiful pics of Megan alone while he grabbed the ring. He pointed out (imaginary) dolphins in the distance, and as Megan was searching the horizon he gave me the thumbs up and got down on one knee.

It was very romantic and sweet, and I have to say it even made me cry! The images tell the rest of the story…..

Megan of course said “YES” and after a few final shots (and lots of screams of disbelief and happiness), I left the happy couple to enjoy the rest of their evening. Joe pulled out all the stops. He put his heart and soul into this, and I have smiled every time I look at these images.

Congratulations guys! Thank you for allowing me the honor of capturing these precious memories for you. I wish you all the best and please remember us when you start making your wedding plans!

Sincerely,

Claire Copeland
