Port St. Lucie Proposal Photographer : Surprise Proposal

Planning a surprise proposal on the Treasure Coast?

As a Port St. Lucie proposal photographer, I’m here to tell you: McKee Botanical Garden in Vero Beach is a total hidden gem. It’s lush, romantic, and absolutely perfect for a Florida-style “YES” moment.

When Fred reached out to me, he already had the ring—and the nerves. What he needed was a location that felt like a fairytale and a photographer who could help him pull off the perfect surprise. That’s where I came in.

Together, we chose McKee Botanical Garden, known for its stone bridges, tropical plants, and quiet tucked-away corners. On the day of the proposal, Fred led Sydney across the bridge—and with the sun streaming through the palms, he dropped to one knee. And yes, she said YES 💍

We followed the proposal with a laid-back portrait session around the garden. These two absolutely lit up the camera, and the natural beauty of the location made every shot feel dreamy and effortless.

Proposing is nerve-wracking enough—don’t add blurry iPhone photos to the mix.
As a Port St. Lucie proposal photographer, I help plan the timing, location, and every little detail so you can just show up and make the moment magical.
