Surprise Proposal Photographer
A Surprise Proposal In Three Mile Bay, NY
When Cory first reached out, he had a vision: a lakeside proposal at his childhood home in Three Mile Bay, surrounded by family, sparklers, and the soft glow of sunset. As a surprise proposal photographer, there’s nothing more rewarding than capturing a moment this electric—personal, intentional, and beautifully unrepeatable—just like the one Cory planned for Liz.
Cory & Liz’s Perfect Fireworks Proposal
What unfolded that night was personal, unforgettable, and full of genuine emotion—the kind of memory that deserves to be preserved just as it happened. He waited until golden hour dipped into dusk, then led Liz to the backyard overlooking the water.
With a gentle smile, he asked her to turn back toward the house. Behind her, Cory lit the handmade sign he’d crafted with care — a glowing “Will You Marry Me” illuminated by a ring of flaming sparklers. Cory had planned every detail of this grand gesture surprise proposal to feel personal and unforgettable—from the timing of sunset to the handmade sign lit with sparklers, and even coordinating with family behind the scenes, having this surprise proposal photographer on the ready ensured the moment was preserved properly as it unfolded. The moment Liz turned back around, the words were blazing with light, and Cory was down on one knee. And of course, SHE. SAID. YES!
From there, the celebration took on a life of its own—like something out of a movie. Neighbors lined their porches to witness the moment — and then joined in, forming a sparkler tunnel to honor the happy couple. Cory knew he wanted a moment that felt genuine and unforgettable—which is exactly where a surprise proposal photographer comes in with an eye for photojournalism, documenting without interrupting the moment.
Across the lake and from both sides of the yard, fireworks erupted into the sky, a vibrant display of shared joy and small-town magic. It felt like the whole town was in on it—helping Cory pull off the kind of fireworks proposal that dreams are made of. This was the grand gesture to end all—one filled with sparklers, fireworks, and the kind of shared joy you never forget. Even their pups made a brief appearance, adding a dash of playful chaos and charm to the scene. It was cozy, electric, and unforgettable — a beautiful start to the next chapter of their love story. Whether you’re planning a backyard celebration or a bold, public gesture, a surprise proposal photographer helps turn your vision into lasting memories.
From Grand Gesture With Surprise Proposal Photographer
to Enchanting Boldt Castle Engagement Session
Grand Fireworks To An Enchanting & Romantic Engagement At Boldt Castle
In the weeks that followed, that magical night lingered in their smiles and showed up in the little ways they held each other. So when Cory and Liz reached back out for an engagement session, it wasn’t just about marking the occasion — it was about continuing the story. Honoring not only the spark of the proposal, but the steady glow of everything that came after. The laughter, the quiet confidence, the way they fit together like home. They wanted to celebrate not just how they got engaged, but everything that makes their relationship fun, effortless, and deeply rooted in joy.
We started at the iconic Boldt Castle, a landmark woven with its own timeless love story. Cory and Liz brought that same romantic energy as we explored the grounds, with the castle rising majestically behind them. But it wasn’t just a fairytale backdrop — it was a reflection of who they are: sentimental, sweet, and full of laughter. As the sun began to dip, we made our way across the water to the nearby James Street Dock area in Alexandria Bay, where they shared a toast, a few playful kisses, and some chocolates by the water.
There was champagne popping, spontaneous dancing, and that unmistakable look couples give when they’re exactly where they’re meant to be.
Whether they were walking hand-in-hand along the dock or cuddled up at sunset, there was an ease between them — the kind that makes you believe in forever. Every photo from their session glows with it.
