A timeless Saturday morning captured on film, as this boyfriend proposed to his girlfriend in the Williamson Conservatory at the Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont, NC. There’s something incredibly meaningful about being invited into one of the most intimate moments of a couple’s story — the very beginning of their engagement. Given the time of year, seasonal blooms, and the weather forecast, we selected the stunning Williamson Conservatory as the proposal location.

The Carolinas’ only 8,000-square-foot, five-story glass house, the Williamson Conservatory is nothing short of magical. Inside the greenhouse, an indoor waterfall flows beneath a canopy of lush tropical plants, while orchids bloom year-round. No matter the season outside, it’s a romantic botanical escape.

If you’re planning a wedding in Charlotte and drawn to artistic, timeless storytelling — on digital or film—I’d love to tell your story.
