Capturing Carter's Magical Proposal to Nicole at Grand Traverse Resort
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing Carter’s heartfelt proposal to Nicole at the beautiful Grand Traverse Resort. Arriving at 7:45pm, 15 minutes before the big moment, I found the beach spot perfectly adorned with an arbor and candles set up by a local rental company Carter had hired, Sensational Events TC. The gorgeous flowers were put together by Sunday Morning Flowers.
As Carter and Nicole strolled from their condo, I hid nearby, ready to capture Nicole’s complete surprise. The sunset cast a magical glow over their moment, followed by a celebratory champagne toast and a fun exploration of the property, including a picturesque bridge over a creek where they shared countless laughs.

- Celebrate: Plan a post-proposal celebration, such as a champagne toast or a walk to a scenic spot, to extend the magic of the moment.
