If you’re looking to plan your own surprise proposal, I offer personalized proposal photography packages to ensure every detail of your day is captured beautifully.
Cole and Brittany’s love story is one for the books. Having grown up in Northwest Florida, they are high school sweethearts who moved to Orlando for college and to build a life together. It’s clear their love has only grown stronger through the years, and Cole wanted to celebrate their journey with a proposal that Brittany would never forget. What better way to do that than at a place they hold dear to their hearts—Leu Botanical Garden?
Cole meticulously planned the proposal, making sure every detail was perfect. The day began with Brittany’s favorite coffee and breakfast, a relaxing start that hinted at nothing unusual. Then, Cole revealed that they were headed for a photo session. This is one of the best cover stories for a surprise proposal because it ensures that the person being proposed to is dressed and ready for photos. Brittany arrived looking gorgeous, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
Leu Botanical Garden was a significant location for Cole and Brittany. They’ve visited the gardens many times, making it a meaningful spot for them to celebrate their love. As a photographer, I always love when couples choose places that have sentimental value to them. It adds an extra layer of emotion to the photos, and in this case, it made the proposal even more magical.
After a few warm-up shots as we strolled through the gardens, we arrived at the idea garden, where Cole got down on one knee and asked Brittany to marry him. It was such a heartfelt and intimate moment, surrounded by the natural beauty of the gardens. Brittany’s reaction was priceless, filled with joy and love. I felt so honored to be part of this moment and capture the raw emotion in their faces.
After the proposal, we took more time to explore the stunning grounds of Leu Botanical Garden, capturing beautiful post-engagement photos. During this time, I got to know Cole and Brittany even better. It turns out we have a lot in common! They are theme park enthusiasts, much like myself, and Brittany even has a tattoo inspired by the TV show Friends—how cool is that? This made the session even more enjoyable, as we bonded over shared interests while taking romantic photos throughout the gardens.
I absolutely loved getting to meet Cole and Brittany and was so honored to capture their proposal at Leu Botanical Garden. Their connection and love for each other were so clear throughout the entire session, making every moment special. Cole and Brittany, when you look back at these photos in years to come, I hope they transport you back to this beautiful day, allowing you to relive all the feelings of love, excitement, and joy that filled this incredible moment in your lives.
