LGBTQ+ Phipps Japanese Garden Surprise Proposal and Engagement Session

Rylan + Gabby

Rylan reached out to me with the adorable idea of a mid-date surprise proposal. We worked out a plan together, and he chose Phipps’ Japanese Courtyard Garden as ✨The Spot✨. He and Gabby made their way through the botanical garden leisurely, while I sat in wait in the Japanese Courtyard section. When they arrived I posed as a student working on a school project and asked if I could bother them for a photo. This was the perfect setup for them to pop the question! There were happy tears, laughter, and so so many hugs. After, we finished their tour of the gardens and captured some engagement photos for them to share with friends and family.
