Last weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a life-changing moment for two incredible people—Matt and Jenna’s surprise proposal at Steps Beach in Nantucket. This emotional and joy-filled evening was nothing short of magical, and I’m thrilled to share the details of their beautiful Nantucket proposal story.
Nantucket is known for its breathtaking coastal scenery, charming cobblestone streets, and iconic New England charm. Among its most beloved locations is Steps Beach, a hidden gem perfect for romantic proposals, engagement sessions, and intimate moments. With its soft sand, sweeping ocean views, and golden sunsets, it was the ideal place for Matt to ask the most important question of his life.
Matt had reached out to me a week in advance, filled with excitement and a bit of nervousness. He wanted everything to be perfect for Jenna. He chose Steps Beach not only for its beauty but also for the intimate atmosphere it provided. Together, we devised a plan that involved Jenna being completely unaware of the surprise awaiting her.
As the sun began to dip below the horizon, I positioned myself discreetly to capture the moment without being intrusive. The anticipation in the air was palpable as I waited for Matt and Jenna to arrive.
As they strolled along the sandy beach, laughter and love radiated from them. Matt took Jenna to a beautiful spot overlooking the water, where the colors of the sunset danced in the sky. It was at that moment, with the sound of waves crashing in the background, that he got down on one knee.
