Some love stories unfold in the most breathtaking ways, and John’s proposal to Jenice was nothing short of magical. Set against the luxurious backdrop of the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, this moment was meticulously planned to be an unforgettable surprise. With the help of Kim Watson-Gordon, who thoughtfully designed every detail, the suite was transformed into a romantic paradise filled with red roses, elegant balloons, and sweet treats—all setting the stage for a proposal straight out of a fairytale.

The Perfect Surprise

John and Jenice were attending a concert that evening, but little did Jenice know, a surprise far greater awaited her back at the hotel. As they made their way back to their suite, their closest friends and family eagerly waited inside, hearts racing with excitement.

The moment the door creaked open, the soft, soulful melody of a live saxophonist filled the air, playing their favorite love song. Jenice immediately burst into tears, overwhelmed by the beauty and love surrounding her. As she stepped further inside, she saw the breathtaking giant rose archway with the words "Marry Me" glowing beneath it.

John gently guided Jenice through the crowd of loved ones, leading her to the center of the room. With emotions running high, he dropped to one knee and asked the question that would change their lives forever. Through happy tears, Jenice said YES! Cheers and applause filled the suite as family and friends surrounded them, celebrating this beautiful moment of love and commitment.

Capturing the Love

While Garrett focused on videography, ensuring that every heartfelt second was preserved, I captured the raw emotion and joy of the night through photography. Every detail—from Jenice’s teary-eyed reaction to the warm embrace of their loved ones—was a reminder of why we love what we do.

After soaking in the moment, we took the newly engaged couple downstairs to the Gaylord’s famous gazebo, a signature spot perfect for capturing their first portraits as fiancés. The grand architecture and twinkling lights made for the most romantic setting, complementing the warmth of their love.

A Night to Remember

Back in the suite, the celebration continued with toasts, laughter, and late-night snacks—a perfect ending to an unforgettable night. This wasn’t just a proposal; it was a beautifully orchestrated moment filled with love, family, and thoughtful planning that made it truly unique to John and Jenice.
