Chad & Dana's Engagement

I had the absolute joy of photographing one of the most beautiful moments in Chad and Dana’s love story — their proposal. It all began when Chad reached out to me with a plan to surprise Dana at the picturesque Henry B. Plant Park in Tampa. I arrived early, wandered through the park, and found a quiet, charming spot by the bay that felt just right.

As the two of them strolled in, hand in hand, my heart raced with anticipation. Then, right on cue, Chad knelt down and asked Dana to spend forever with him. The look on her face said it all — pure joy, surprise, and overwhelming love. It was such a special moment to witness, and an even greater honor to capture.
