March 28, 2023May 6, 2021 by Ryan Smith

How to do an unforgettable surprise marriage proposal in Myrtle Beach

March 30, 2023December 26, 2020 by Ryan Smith

Surprise engagement proposal on a beautiful winter evening in Myrtle Beach

April 15, 2023February 27, 2017 by Ryan Smith

I always love the Myrtle Beach State Park at sunset in the winter. This time of the year the sky just seems clearer and the water is more blue. I don’t know if it’s perhaps the lower humidity or just the difference in the angle of the sunset. We had …

Surprise engagement proposal with the whole family at the Myrtle Beach State Park

December 11, 2022August 28, 2015 by Ryan Smith

I’ve been doing a lot of surprise marriage proposals recently. I think it’s because I’ve blogged about it several times, and clients must be seeing my posts. Whatever the reason, I always enjoy doing these, so I hope I keep getting more. I believe this engagement proposal was a real surprise. …

Engagement pictures with an emotional marriage proposal on the beach

December 7, 2022September 23, 2013 by Ryan Smith

I had another fun couple that hired me for their engagement pictures and a marriage proposal on the beach. This one was a bit different than my last couple of proposals because his girlfriend knew that he was going to propose. This made it a bit easier for me because …
