When Jackie arrived at Untermyer Gardens, she thought she was there for a “branding” photo
shoot. The lush greenery, grand architecture, and breathtaking views were the perfect backdrop
for what she believed would be a creative shoot highlighting her style. Little did she know, a far
more magical moment was in the works.

For weeks, Sean and I had been working behind the scenes to craft the perfect surprise
proposal. From choosing the ideal spot in the gardens to timing everything down to the second,
Sean wanted this moment to be unforgettable. He envisioned a setting that matched the beauty
of their love, and Untermyer Gardens, with its timeless elegance and serenity, was the perfect
choice.

As I clicked away, capturing casual shots of Jackie enjoying the scenery, Sean waited for his
cue. Jackie, fully immersed in the session, had no idea what was about to unfold. Her laughter
filled the air as we took photos near the grand pergola, the iconic Walled Garden, and the
majestic Temple of Love. Each spot was more enchanting than the last, but none more so than
the moment Sean got down on one knee.

The look on Jackie’s face was pure disbelief and joy when she turned to see Sean holding the
ring. It was a moment frozen in time—full of love, excitement, and overwhelming emotion. The
serene surroundings of the gardens provided the perfect ambiance, making it feel as though
they had stepped into a fairy tale.

The proposal was everything Sean had hoped for and more. Jackie said “yes” amid the beauty
of the gardens, surrounded by nature and the love they share. As they embraced and
celebrated, I captured every tear, every smile, and every kiss, ensuring that this
once-in-a-lifetime moment would be remembered forever.

The rest of the session was filled with the same joy, but now with the glow of their engagement
illuminating every frame. Jackie and Sean laughed, danced, and shared whispers, savoring the
start of this new chapter in their lives.

Untermyer Gardens, with its rich history and breathtaking beauty, provided the perfect setting for
Jackie and Sean’s proposal. It was an unforgettable day for them, and an honor for me to
witness and capture. Congratulations to the happy couple—may this be the beginning of a
lifetime of love and adventure!
