When Nick first reached out...


... I knew, this would be a special proposal to capture. His attention to detail, the thoughtfulness of the location, the date 5.25.25 (even the time 5.25pm) and how it should all go down... he color coordinated the outfits... This guy has talents, he is a keeper, I was so impressed!

The Chanler is a special place to begin with, with its location and prime spot right on the water, but for Nick and Gianna it holds memories of their first time in Newport when they started dating, 5 years back. Get it... all the 5's!! Needless to say the emotions... went wild.


Gianna had no clue...

Nick arranged for rose pedals to be delivered to The Chanler beforehand and I spread them out on the stairs facing the Cliff Walk ( and guarded them with my life because people thought this would be so fun to take pictures IN THEM!! No, no, no.... not right now, the show goes down any minute now. I keep in touch via text with the person proposing, so I know where they are at and I can pretend to photograph something/someone else when the reach the location.

Once he was on his knees... Gianna forgot the world around her. Well done, Nick!!!


After the proposal, the fabulous ring and quickly facetiming their families, we proceeded to take pictures on the property of The Chanler first, before hopping in the car and exploring Ochre Court and Surfer's End at Sachuest Beach. The weather held up perfectly, the clouds and birds showed up just in the right moment to round up a perfect proposal session.


Congratulations Nick and Gianna. May your life together bring you lots of amazing moments, adventures and happiness.

Thank you for your trust in me. It was an honor.
