This surprise proposal was what dreams are made of! Simon is just smitten over Nichole, and you can see it when he looks at her!
As we were exploring the streets of Charleston to find the perfect spot for photos, we hit the jackpot when we came across a quaint little flower cart. The flower cart was nestled in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina.
I am not sure if I fell in love with the flowers or the beautiful cobblestone; both were beautiful. As they were posing for the sweetest couples’ photos, Simon snuck on one knee and popped the question! How sweet of the cart owner to give them a bouquet.
This engagement session was something of my dreams! I don’t think I could have planned it out better myself!
If you are visiting Charleston and plan to propose, please get in touch! There is nothing like have the emotions from the proposal frozen in still imagery for you to cherish for years to come!
