Proposal Photography | St. Augustine – Proposing During St. Augustine’s Night of Lights. If you’re planning to propose during St. Augustine’s Night of Lights, you’ve chosen an enchanting backdrop for a magical moment. Recently, I captured a proposal on the busiest night of the week, Saturday, flawlessly navigating the bustling streets and glowing lights.

From the proposal moment to a mini adventure around the city’s most picturesque spots, I help couples create stunning memories.
Not to worry, I’ll also pose you along the way, making sure your photos look natural and chic. Plus, get ready for a fun date-night vibe after the big moment—it’s all part of the experience!
Let me turn your Night of Lights proposal into a timeless story you’ll treasure forever.
