I absolutely adore taking surprise proposal pictures at Brant Point Light House. It’s such an iconic place with a stunning bay view that makes every moment that much more intimate and special. One can often find fishermen fishing off the shore, families with little kids playing in the sand, and many local photographers capturing Nantucket’s special moments, but the magic only truly happens when a surprise proposal takes place. The joy and love in that moment are palpable, and it’s an honor to capture it for couples to cherish forever

I had the best time capturing Carmelo’s surprise proposal at Brant Point. The weather was perfect, and the atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation. As I waited for my couple and their family to arrive, I couldn’t help but admire the stunning view of the bay and the Brant Point Lighthouse. When I saw them approaching the designated location, I had to pretend that I was taking pictures of the lighthouse, passing boats, and blooming rosa rugosa. When I saw that Carmelo was ready to pop the question, I slowly positioned myself across the lighthouse and waited for the perfect moment. As always, it was a beautiful and emotional moment that I was honored to capture.

We were just finishing up the engagement shoot when it started to rain, but we all agreed that it was a sign of good luck. It truly was an unforgettable experience.
