I first connected with Jake and Megan through another one of my 2025 brides, and from the very beginning, I could tell this proposal was going to be something special. Jake had been planning for weeks—he told me Megan is super intuitive and figures things out quickly, so he had to pull out all the stops to truly surprise her!

On a chilly spring day at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel, Indiana, Jake set up the most thoughtful proposal. He created a sweet little floral and photo display that told the story of their relationship, and the moment Megan arrived, she was completely caught off guard—in the best way. Just when she thought it couldn't get any more special, Jake surprised her again by inviting all of her closest family and friends to celebrate with them. It was such a joyful and emotional moment, and you could feel how much love and effort went into every detail.

Capturing this proposal was such an honor. The happiness, the surprise, the laughter—it was the kind of day that reminds me why I love doing what I do. Scroll through to see how it all unfolded at one of Carmel’s most romantic spots!
