This January, I had the incredible privilege of collaborating with Sofia to help her plan and capture a magical proposal for her partner, Riley, at the iconic Portland Head Light. As a wedding photographer, moments like these are why I love what I do. They remind me of the beauty of love and the power of storytelling through imagery.

For months, Sofia and I meticulously planned every detail to ensure the proposal would be unforgettable. She wanted the moment to feel intimate yet extraordinary, and Portland Head Light provided the perfect backdrop. With its rugged coastline, historic charm, and breathtaking views, it’s no wonder this spot is a dream destination for proposals.

The day couldn’t have been more perfect. The golden hour light was pure magic, casting a warm, glowing embrace over the rocky cliffs and the iconic lighthouse. As Sofia and Riley arrived at the pre-planned location, I posed as just another photographer capturing the stunning scenery. Sofia’s excitement was palpable, but she kept her composure flawlessly.

When the moment came, Sofia dropped to one knee, and Riley’s expression of joy and surprise was everything we had envisioned. Tears flowed freely, and their love radiated through every frame. What stood out most was how natural they were on camera. Riley’s infectious laughter and Sofia’s tender gazes made every shot feel authentic and deeply personal. Their connection was undeniable, and I felt so honored to be the one capturing it.

If you’re considering a proposal destination that offers both natural beauty and historic charm, Portland Head Light is a gem. Its stunning vistas and serene atmosphere make it an ideal setting to pop the question. For Sofia and Riley, it was the beginning of their next chapter together, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have been part of their journey.

To Sofia and Riley: Thank you for trusting me to document such a meaningful moment. Your love is an inspiration, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both.
