Historic Downtown Charleston Proposal | All this planning begin with an Instagram message. John and Kathleen were planning a trip to Charleston to escape the business of home in Boston and John wanted to propose! Eeeeeekkkk! We love nothing more than to be with our couples capturing day one of their forever together!
John wanted the look of historic Charleston and we knew just the place! Latitude Lane, with its old charm, paved in cobblestone, overgrown ivy walls, and low hanging mossy trees, it was absolutely perfect in every way!
We were in place and of course that’s when our nerves kick in. John arrived right on time and as they walked past us, I gave him the smile and nod we were ready. Making it seem like a casual turn down a beautiful alleyway, the next moment he was down on one knee, and Kathleen was blown away. Little did she know, this wasn’t the only surprise of the day. After this gorgeous proposal and portraits around Rainbow Row, we walked the block to Waterfront Park where photos were to continue.
Along the windy paths, in the mist of a grassy area tucked beneath an oak tree, was a romantic picnic set up. Her favorite color flowers from Rosebay Floral, flowerless chocolate cake baked by yours truly, and a gorgeous champagne bottle on ice created by Holy City Handwriting. Perfection! We stopped long enough to pop the bubbly and cheers to forever, before continuing portraits along the waterfront.
Congratulations John and Kathleen! We can’t wait to hear about wedding plans!
Look how adorable she is!
That ring! GOREGOUS!!!
We just adore you guys! Congratulations!!!
Let us help create the proposal of her dreams! View some of our past proposals to get some ideas on what we’ve done, but skies the limit! From a Carolina sunrise on the beach, California sunset along the cliffs, golden vineyards of Napa to Carmel Valley, historic cobblestone streets of Charleston, ancient mossy oak trees of a southern plantation, to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Together we will curate your perfect setting!
