So, picture this: late afternoon at the Nubble Lighthouse in Maine, where the ocean waves crash gently against the rocky coastline and the sun is just starting to dip down toward the horizon. It’s one of those places that feels like a scene from a postcard, right? I had the absolute pleasure of capturing a beautiful surprise engagement there, and honestly, it was magical. The lighthouse stood tall and majestic, the perfect backdrop for such a special moment.

The whole vibe was just perfect—the couple arrived, and as soon as he got down on one knee, her face lit up with pure joy. I was on the sidelines, my camera at the ready, quietly snapping away as this moment unfolded. The ocean’s salty breeze, the stunning lighthouse, and the couple’s genuine happiness created this atmosphere that was impossible not to feel in my bones. It was like time stood still for a few brief moments, and I got to capture all that emotion in real-time.
