Fort Myers Beach Proposal | Tim + Claudia

I thought I may have been dreaming when Tim reached out asking me to capture his proposal on a sailboat. But it was true! Still too good to actually happen though. As we set out for our evening at sea, the weather turned for the worst and our captain took us safely back to shore. Since we were 5 minutes from my favorite spot on Fort Myers Beach, we decided to carry on until the rain overcame us. It never did, but I’m glad the captain played it safe!

Their sailboat would set sail another day for their private engagement celebration. No big deal, because Tim’s proposal on Fort Myers Beach turned out better than we dreamed of. Due to the storm clouds we were graced with soft light and one of the best sunsets.

When Tim inquired I gave him some options to explain my presence and keep the proposal a secret. Some couples choose a “just because” photo session and surprise with the proposal in the middle, while others prefer me to hide until the big moment. However he admitted he couldn’t keep a secret, Claudia would just know!

So although the proposal wasn’t exactly a surprise, Claudia was delighted to see the ring for the first time. He also brought his ukulele and she was emotional as he serenaded her with a song they love. Proposals like theirs are why I love being a Fort Myers Beach proposal photographer. Tim had put so much thought into planning this moment: the sailboat, a homemade packed dinner, and bringing along his ukulele for a song that meant the world to her. Every story is different, but the love and care always shines through.
