When I first heard from Eric about his interest for hiring a photographer to document their surprise proposal on Nantucket I knew we’d be a great fit! He was very excited and we talked a lot about how to make a great plan for their special evening! I was also thrilled to hear that they also brought along their adorable dog Bugsy who we would be picking up for photos after the big question! It was a gorgeous sunny evening and to say she was surprised is an understatement! Amanda’s enthusiasm was priceless! I love helping people plan these proposals because while it helps to have a plan it’s the moments that unfold that make our job truly exciting!

“The night of my dreams! Nantucket has been a truly special place for us, and the island has been the backdrop of so many monumental moments in our relationship— Our first trip together (2 weeks after meeting!), our first ‘I love you’, our first vacation with the puppy, and now, the first moment of our lifetime together! Steps Beach has been a beautiful, tranquil, ethereal place for us— a photo of me descending the links to the beach has been Eric’s phone background for a long time (but the spot has since been boarded up). To get near the same area of Steps, we went to Galley Beach for lovely drinks the day we arrived (yes, after a 6am wake up call) and at 6pm took a walk down the beach where Eric asked me the easiest question in the world! I could not have dreamt of a more surreal, intense, beautiful, blissful moment with the love of my life. We are so grateful to Katie & Cary for capturing the raw emotion only possible in those immediate celebratory moments. We cannot wait to treasure these photos when reflecting back on the most special time.”
