A Surprise Proposal at Freedom Park in Charlotte NC

Planning a surprise proposal takes more than finding a beautiful spot and hoping everything falls into place. When Matt reached out about proposing to his girlfriend, Keren, at Freedom Park, we spent time carefully planning the details so the moment would feel completely natural while still giving us the perfect opportunity to capture it.

Having photographed at Freedom Park many times, I know the park well — from the different overlooks and pathways to the quieter areas that can work especially well for a private moment. With the time of year, Matt’s vision for a natural outdoor setting, and the fact that family would be traveling in from New York for the surprise, we considered several options before settling on a specific area of the park.
