Clearwater Beach Surprise Proposal

The perfect 4th of July surprise proposal at a private beach house in Clearwater, Florida. What could be better?

Everything about this surprise proposal was planned and executed flawlessly. Rafael’s sister, Angelina, contacted me to capture this gorgeous proposal. She was so excited to have Carrie as her sister-in-law. The surprise planned for months before the day. Carrie told me that kind of knew that was going to happen.

None the less, Rafael took the time to plan every detail, including Carrie’s clothes and her manicure color! He tried to disguise the gathering as a 4th of July party so the decorations and catered food didn’t give away the surprise. A quick trip to the store allowed all of their friends and family just enough time to arrive and hurry up the stairs. They waited on the candle covered balcony and held letters spelling “marry me.”

Proposals happen fast. Luckily, thanks to great communication, I was able to capture all the best moments. I only had to take a couple of undercover shell photos as they walked down to the beach.

Rafael took the time to get to know one of Carries friends who worked in a jewelry shop. Carrie shared her love for one of the rings there. Rafael was able to get the exact ring she loves. Carrie cried when Rafael pulled out the ring and the crowd that gathered on the beach all shouted their congratulations! There were even boats that stopped and cheered for the happy couple.

In conclusion, It was a blast capturing Rafael and Carrie’s beach proposal. They were beyond kind, friendly, and down to earth. They listened to all of my instructions and were receptive to everything I was saying. I enjoyed how easy they were to work with and we could not have planned for their night to go any better.
