A Beautiful Surprise Proposal at Elora Mill Hotel & Spa

Planning a surprise proposal takes thought, timing, and the perfect location — and Evan truly pulled it off! I had the pleasure of photographing his proposal on the patio at the stunning Elora Mill Hotel & Spa on a beautiful, warm, sunny September evening. While Chloe thought they were just dressed up to meet his family for a birthday dinner, Evan had secretly planned an unforgettable moment filled with anticipation, excitement, and love.

They’ve been together for a long time, so it’s no surprise she said yes — but that moment was filled with unforgettable joy, excitement, and love. Evan’s big smile said it all, and Chloe’s reaction was priceless.
