Proposal Highlight

Matt & Mary peek’s Proposal

Castillo de San Marcos Downtown St Augustine Lightner Museum Courtyard

St. Augustine was where Matt and Mary had their first date, so Matt knew exactly where he wanted to propose. He reached out ahead of time with every detail planned out, and when the moment came at the Castillo de San Marcos, Mary was so caught up in the view from the fort that she had no idea what was coming. Matt got down on one knee in the grass, she said yes, and the surprise was written all over her face. After a few photos showing off the ring in the late sun, they headed into downtown St. Augustine for a few more pictures. Congratulations to Matt and Mary - we wish the absolutely BEST!
