A Romantic Niagara Engagement at the Botanical Gardens

Planning the Perfect Proposal

There's something truly magical about proposals, and Vincent's plan to propose to Sarah at the Botanical Gardens in Niagara Falls was nothing short of amazing. From the initial planning to the moment she said "yes," every detail came together perfectly for an unforgettable memory.

A few weeks before coming to Niagara, Vincent reached out to me and let me know that he and Sarah were coming to Niagara to visit family, and he wanted to make this trip extra special by proposing. After exchanging a few emails, texts and a phone call, we crafted a plan to capture the moment in a way they'd always remember.

It was raining heavily in the morning on the day Vincent decided on, but luck was on our side and the skies cleared a couple hours before we planned to meet. The rain had also worked in our favor because later on it turned into an unusually warm mid March day, but the rain had kept most people away, making the Botanical Gardens feel even more intimate for their big moment.

The Big Moment

I had suggested that the iconic row of trees at the Botanical Gardens would be a beautiful spot for the proposal, and Vincent agreed. I arrived early, I texted Vincent to confirm that everything was set and waited for them to arrive.

As they approached I pretended to be on a phone call so Sarah wouldn't get suspicious as to why someone was standing all alone at the end of the gardens. When Vincent stopped and took Sarah's hands I knew the moment was here. I quickly grabbed my camera and began taking photos as Vincent got down on one knee. There was a lot of smiling, laughter and a resounding "yes" from Sarah!

Capturing Their Engagement Session

After giving them a moment to soak it all in, I introduced myself properly and we started their engagement session right there in the gardens. What I didn't expect was just how naturally Vincent and Sarah fit together in front of the camera. Their love, laughter and how comfortable they make each other made for some of the most beautiful, genuine photos.

Typically, my proposal photography package includes a 20-30 minute engagement session with around 40-50 images. However, Vincent and Sarah's chemistry was undeniable. There ended up being well over 100 photos for them! If it weren't for their dinner reservations, I would have happily kept photographing them even longer.

Congratulations to Vincent & Sarah!

This Niagara engagement session was truly special, and I feel honored to have captured this moment for them. Congratulations to you both—your love is inspiring, and I know you have a beautiful future ahead!
