I’m not going to lie—this one had me feeling all the feels. Michael & Cece’s Ritz-Carlton Naples proposal was straight out of a dream, and I’m still pinching myself that I got to be the one to photograph it all go down.
Cece had no clue what was coming. She thought she was meeting family for dinner (casual), but instead? Michael led her into the beautiful courtyard at The Ritz-Carlton Naples, dropped to one knee, and asked her to spend forever with him. And her reaction? Pure magic. The happy tears. The shock. The joy. And just when she started to process what had happened—boom—all their family came out from hiding to surprise her again. Tell me that’s not iconic.
Cece showed up looking like a total goddess in the most gorgeous dress—even though it was seriously chilly out. She braved the cold for sunset photos without complaining once, and we wandered around the property capturing that fresh “just got engaged” glow. I’m honestly so obsessed with these two and the way they look at each other—it’s effortless, real, and full of so much love.
Michael & Cece, thank you for trusting me with one of the biggest moments of your life. You gave me full access to a forever memory, and I’ll never take that lightly. If every Ritz-Carlton Naples proposal could be this joyful, heartfelt, and beautifully planned… sign me up a hundred times over.
