Leu Botanical Garden: A Dreamy Backdrop for a Proposal

Leu Botanical Garden is one of Orlando’s most peaceful and romantic spots — a place where nature and emotion come together beautifully. I had the honor of capturing Chase and Nataly’s proposal here on a gorgeous morning, and the entire session was overflowing with love and joy. From the soft morning light to the quiet rustle of the trees, everything about the setting felt magical.

The Idea Garden: Where It All Happened

Chase chose the Idea Garden inside Leu Botanical Garden for his proposal — and it couldn’t have been a more perfect choice. It’s one of my favorite hidden gems in the gardens, full of color, texture, and charm. Chase led Nataly through the garden, and as they reached a beautiful open spot surrounded by greenery, he got down on one knee.

Nataly was completely surprised — her face lit up with disbelief, and then the sweetest emotion took over. She covered her mouth in shock before bursting into tears of pure happiness. It was such a powerful, beautiful moment to witness.

A Morning Full of Tears, Laughter, and Love

As soon as Nataly realized what was happening, she just couldn’t stop crying — and smiling through those tears. The moment was so raw and real that it felt like time had stopped. You could feel how deeply in love these two are.

After she said “yes,” the laughter started flowing just as easily as the tears. Chase and Nataly couldn’t stop gazing into each other’s eyes, and their connection was so natural and effortless. Every glance between them told a story of love, joy, and excitement for the future.

Their Joy Was Absolutely Contagious

Once the proposal excitement settled, we spent time exploring the garden for portraits — and honestly, I could have kept shooting all day. Chase and Nataly were so full of genuine emotion and happiness that every photo felt alive. They laughed together constantly, shared quiet, tender moments, and made it so easy to capture their love exactly as it is.

Nataly was an absolute ray of sunshine that morning — her smile, energy, and lightheartedness made the entire session even more joyful. She and Chase have such a beautiful bond, and their love truly shines through in every single image.

A Session I’ll Never Forget

There are sessions that stay with you, and this one absolutely will for me. Watching Chase and Nataly experience such a heartfelt moment reminded me why I love capturing proposals so much — every single one is unique, emotional, and unforgettable. I’m so happy for these two as they begin their season of engagement and continue building a life filled with laughter, love, and sunshine.
