Proposal at Daniel Stowe’s Gardens
There are few moments more exciting to photograph than a marriage proposal—especially when I get to help plan the surprise from the very beginning.
Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph another beautiful proposal at Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont, NC, just outside Charlotte. The boyfriend and I worked together to thoughtfully plan the location, setup, and timing so everything would come together perfectly without his girlfriend suspecting a thing.
If you're thinking about proposing somewhere in Charlotte, Belmont, or the surrounding Carolinas, I'd love to help you make it happen.
The best proposal photographs aren't just about showing up with a camera. I enjoy working with couples beforehand to think through the location, timing, lighting, logistics, surprise, and what happens immediately afterward so that everything feels effortless when the big moment arrives.
Whether you're envisioning a proposal surrounded by gardens, inside a beautiful conservatory, or somewhere completely different, I'm happy to help bring your vision to life.
And when the moment arrives, I'll be there to document it with a combination of artistic storytelling, digital photography, and film—capturing the excitement, emotion, and all the little moments you'll want to remember long after the champagne has been poured.
If you're planning a surprise proposal in the greater Charlotte area, I'd love to hear your ideas and help you create a proposal that's uniquely yours.
Let's make sure you have the photographs to remember the moment you became engaged.
Daniel Stowe Conservancy Engagement
Stunning engagement session at the Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont, NC. The Carolinas’ only 8,000-square-foot, five-story glass house, the Williamson Conservatory is a greenhouse with a waterfall, canopy of tropical plants and orchids. No matter the season outside, something is in bloom inside.
As much as I enjoyed photographing this engagement session, I'm even more excited for their wedding this October. Their celebration will begin at one of Charlotte's most historic and significant churches, The Cathedral of Saint Patrick in Dilworth.

Proposing at Daniel Stowe Conservancy
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.

Proposal at Daniel Stowe Conservancy
Romantic summer wedding proposal in the White Garden at the Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont, NC. These botanical gardens offer a stunning private location you can reserve for proposing to your girlfriend, and can visit over and over again. Assisting the boyfriend in planing his surprise proposal is something I’ve done many times, and we planned the perfect way for him to pop the question here. After the proposal, we celebrated with engagement pictures that will be great for those Save-the-Date cards and sharing with friends! So happy for these two, and their upcoming wedding.
