Charleston is known for its beautiful gardens, and Hunter and Katelyn’s proposal at Hampton Park showcased just how magical these settings can be. Hunter envisioned proposing to Katelyn in a garden surrounded by lush greenery, with his beloved dog by his side. Since many historic gardens don’t allow pets, Hampton Park was the perfect choice, offering an enchanting mix of Spanish moss, majestic live oaks, and vibrant flowers — and it welcomed their furry friend for this special moment.
The proposal took place in May during golden hour, with soft, golden light illuminating the park’s stunning landscapes. The atmosphere was truly magical, adding a dreamy touch to every photo. After Katelyn said yes, the couple celebrated with champagne, savoring the joy of the moment in such a picturesque setting.
But the magic didn’t end there. For the second part of their session, we headed to a nearby marina, where the setting sun cast a warm glow over the water. This change in scenery brought even more variety to their photos, creating a beautiful blend of garden elegance and waterfront charm that perfectly captured the essence of Charleston.
Hampton Park is an ideal location for those who love classic garden settings, complete with draping Spanish moss, historic oaks, and vibrant blooms. Hunter and Katelyn’s proposal was a perfect example of how to plan a meaningful, personalized experience in one of Charleston’s most charming outdoor spots.
If you’re looking to plan a proposal in Charleston that combines natural beauty and a pet-friendly atmosphere, Hampton Park offers a stunning backdrop that will make your special moment unforgettable.
