Dan pulled off the ultimate golden-hour surprise proposal for Gabby on a luxury yacht in Jupiter, Florida, with the iconic Jupiter Lighthouse glowing in the background.

With close family on board and friends waiting at the dock, the stage was perfectly set for a romantic Intracoastal engagement. As the boat cruised along the water, we coordinated closely with Dan on the exact timing and route to make sure the lighthouse was beautifully framed in the distance. When he got down on one knee, Gabby’s reaction was everything: stunned, overjoyed, and overflowing with emotion in the most heart-melting way.

This Jupiter Lighthouse proposal was one for the books captured from every angle using a drone and telephoto lenses from shore to preserve the intimacy while telling the full story. The result? A seamless blend of candid emotion, cinematic views, and unforgettable memories.

After the big “yes,” the celebration continued at Lucky Shuck, where more friends and family were waiting with open arms (and champagne). The energy was electric Gabby was beaming the entire night, and her excitement was totally contagious.

The whole session felt effortless. Between the glowing light, the sparkling water, and two people completely in love, it was the kind of South Florida engagement that practically captured itself. We added a few light prompts along the way, but mostly just let Gabby and Dan’s joy take the lead.

Planning a proposal in Jupiter or along Florida’s Intracoastal? Let Gabby and Dan’s story inspire your own moment complete with lighthouse views, a boat ride to remember, and the kind of surprise that gets everyone cheering.
