This dreamy La Playa Surprise Beach Proposal in Naples was so much fun to be a part of. It was a breezy yet gorgeous night at the Ritz Carlton in Naples, where Nick and Gina were enjoying cocktails on the beach during their vacation. They were visiting from Chicago, soaking up all the Florida vibes. Nick’s parents owned a home in Naples, so these little getaways were nothing new to the couple.

They had plans to meet Nick’s parents at La Playa Beach Club for dinner and decided to walk from the Ritz to La Playa. But little did Gina know, this simple walk down the beach had a surprise in store. Nick had planned a sunset stroll to La Playa Beach Club where Gina thought she was just meeting Nick’s parents for dinner, but halfway through the walk, Nick dropped down on one knee and popped the question: “Will you marry me, Gina?”

From there, I photographed a mini engagement session for them as we walked back to La Playa. Once they got close to La Playa, Gina was surprised with ALL of her family being there. They spent the rest of the evening celebrating with their families. Here are a few of my favorites from their La Playa proposal.
