Alec & Elizabeth’s Surprise OBX Proposal

There’s nothing more magical than a surprise OBX proposal along the Outer Banks beaches. Alec reached out to us ahead of his trip with Elizabeth, planning the sweetest surprise on the beaches of Corolla, North Carolina. With the ocean waves in the background and the golden light of evening, Alec got down on one knee and asked Elizabeth to spend forever with him. Of course, she said yes!

Alec and Elizabeth’s story began long before this trip to the Outer Banks. Their relationship has been filled with adventure, laughter, and love that made this moment feel like the perfect next chapter.

With the help of some discreet planning, we found the perfect stretch of sand between Corolla and Duck where the two could share this intimate moment. Alec and Elizabeth took a casual stroll along the beach and he got down on one knee in front of the Atlantic Ocean. After she said “yes!” we captured portraits of the newly engaged couple along the shoreline to celebrate.

Fun surprise proposals, give us the fun job of playing secret spy and photographer all in one night. Alec wanted candid photos of the exact moment, so we stayed tucked away until he popped the question.
