For months leading up to this special night, Nick worked on planning the perfect sunset sailboat proposal that was a dream come true, filled with heartfelt moments. As a Wilmington, NC based wedding & portrait photographer specializing in light and airy, true-to-color, timeless photography, I have the privilege of capturing love stories in the most picturesque settings and this one will definitely be hard to beat.

Months of Planning and a Touch of Serendipity

Nick meticulously planned every detail of his sunset sailboat proposal to Annalee, creating a moment they would cherish forever. Despite concerns about an impending storm, Captain Jim from Shamrock Sailing assured us that the evening would unfold perfectly—and it did.

A Perfect Evening Unfolds

As we set sail, the sky was overcast, but as fate would have it, the sun broke through the clouds the moment Nick dropped to one knee. Annalee’s joyful “yes” was met with radiant sunlight, illuminating their love and creating an unforgettable atmosphere for their engagement photos.

Capturing the Joy of Just Engaged

After the proposal, we captured the newly engaged couple in their purest state of happiness. These “just engaged” moments are always a highlight, filled with genuine emotion and the excitement of sharing the news with loved ones.

Cherishing the Moment

Nick and Annalee took time to savor their engagement, enjoying the romantic sunset sail and privately sharing their news with family and friends. It was a serene moment of reflection and celebration amidst the beauty of the Wilmington coastline.

Capturing Timeless Memories

Following their private celebration, we continued capturing their joy with more photos on board and against the scenic backdrop of the Wilmington waterfront. Each image encapsulated their love story and the magic of that unforgettable evening.

A Return to Shore, Filled with Happiness

As the sailboat gently returned to the dock, Nick and Annalee were filled with happiness and anticipation for their future together. Their engagement was not just a moment, but the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.
