Surprise Proposal | Lake St. Clair Metropark, Harrison Township, MI

On a warm summer evening, Spencer had planned a surprise proposal for his long time girlfriend, Shannon, at Lake Saint Clair Metropark, situated near Detroit, Michigan. He had meticulously planned the event, trying to make every detail perfect for her with the help of her best friend and mom! We had planned the exact private location together with FaceTime calls, maps, and emails back and forth. Every detail was planned to a T!

The bride to be specifically wanted her proposal to be waterfront, so as they took a long walks was left wondering if this was the day. I was hiding in some tall grasses watching the couple arrive from afar. The cozy beachfront picnic was setup by Pop Up Picnic Detroit, complete with snacks, chilled champagne, and a cozy place to watch the waves. As soon as she saw that, she knew what was about to happen

As they crossed the beachfront to the proposal spot, Spencer begins to tell Shannon how much she meant to him, how much he loved her, and how he couldn't imagine spending his life without her. Emotionally overwhelmed, Shannon starts to tear up, realizing what was happening.

Spencer gets down on one knee, pulling out a beautiful engagement ring, and asks the question Shannon had been waiting for, "Will you marry me?" Overwhelmed with joy and happiness, Shannon of course says yes!

I was of course capturing every moment, chocking back tears myself. After they had a few moments to soak it all in and pop that champagne bottle, we wandered around the beach front capturing their love and excitement during this amazing moment.

Lake Saint Clair Metropark provided the perfect backdrop for the beautiful proposal, creating an unforgettable moment for the beautiful couple.

If you're ever thinking of proposing to your significant other, I highly recommend Lake Saint Clair Metropark. It's the perfect Macomb County destination for making magical moments that will last a lifetime.
