A perfect night of blue skies and a great big YES.

Luke and I had been planning this Pawleys Island proposal for weeks, carefully coordinating every detail to make the surprise unforgettable. From the thoughtfully styled photos and cozy blanket setup to the chilled champagne ready to pop, the moment he asked brought her to tears. He chose a meaningful location in Pawleys Island, a place she visits often with her family and one filled with memories—making it the perfect story for their engagement.

I was truly honored to be part of such a special moment and captured their Pawleys Island beach proposal from every angle, preserving both the emotion and the excitement as it unfolded. After celebrating with a few joyful, just-engaged photos, they headed off to dinner—with even more phone calls and happy news still to share.
