Guardian Building Proposal

Saturday, October 14th, 2023

A few weeks ago, William reaching out to me with some exciting news: he was going to be proposing to his long-time girlfriend, Hannah. He spoke with such enthusiasm, you would think we too were long-time friends. Still, I was happy for him. Naturally this was a huge moment for them both and to be considered to be present was a honor. After getting a better idea of what William was looking for, I sent him a few links to locations that I thought would give him the beauty and privacy that he was looking for. He was really drawn to the idea of a Guardian Building proposal. We looked at our schedules and pencilled in a time to meet there.

Within a few minutes of meeting, William was sold. He loved the look of the historic, art deco building and the warm environment it provided. Together, we mapped out a plan to get Hannah downtown and into the building. Lexie from Floral and Flame would add a romantic touch to the proposal by creating a centerpiece for William to propose. With a plan in place, the only thing left for us to do was wait.

When the day finally came for William’s Guardian Building proposal, he was calm and relaxed. Lexie and I arrived early to get everything set up: Lexie, the candles and floral arrangement; myself, the lighting. With a few minutes to spare, Lexie hid in the back while I sat on the stairs leading up to the proposal spot, acting like I was scrolling on my phone. As William and Hannah walked up the opposing side of stairs, I followed behind and quietly documented their special moment. Needless to say, Hannah said “yes!”
