Ethan planned a picture-perfect proposal for his now-fiancée, Grace, during their December visit to Charleston. Traveling from Virginia, the couple chose to explore one of Charleston’s most iconic and historic destinations — Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens.
Ethan selected a breathtaking spot beneath the sweeping branches of centuries-old oak trees near the barn. The natural canopy of moss-draped limbs provided a timeless, romantic setting — ideal for such a meaningful moment. To ensure the proposal remained a complete surprise, Ethan and I worked closely together behind the scenes. We exchanged reference photos, mapped out directions, and finalized every detail to make sure the moment went off without a hitch.
When the time came, Grace was genuinely surprised and overwhelmed with emotion. It was a beautiful, heartfelt moment to witness and capture. After she said “yes”, we strolled through the gardens for a post-proposal photo session, preserving the joy and love that radiated from them both.
This Boone Hall proposal was a perfect blend of natural Southern charm and thoughtful planning — a day Ethan and Grace will always remember.
