Rand & Rachel’s unforgettable moment
Some love stories don’t follow the script.
Some proposals aren’t meticulously planned months in advance.
And yet… they turn out to be perfect.
That was the case with Rand & Rachel.
Just 48 hours before he was due to pop the question, Rand sent me a message from across the Atlantic.
A heartfelt, urgent message that read something like:
“My original planning team dropped the ball. I’m flying to Nice in a few hours. The proposal is happening this Saturday evening on a yacht in Saint-Tropez. Can you help?”
It was a race against time.
But I was available. And thanks to my years of experience and trusted network in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, I knew exactly who to call. Within a few hours, we had the entire evening restructured: discreet photo and video coverage, a beautiful setting aboard a luxury yacht, and a moment that Rachel would remember forever.
The calm before the "yes"
The yacht was docked right in the port of Saint-Tropez, directly across from the legendary Café de Paris.
It was golden hour – that magical time when the sun caresses the village with honeyed light.
The crew was preparing the final touches.
Close friends and family members were on board, trying to keep things light and fun to calm Rand’s nerves.
We slipped quietly onto the yacht with my video partner. Cameras ready. Hearts steady.
And then… Rachel arrived.
Her expression shifted from surprise to emotion in seconds.
She wasn’t expecting any of this not the guests, and certainly not the love of her life down on one knee.
Rand began his speech with trembling hands and a steady heart.
Rachel answered with a tearful “I do.”
The ring slid gently onto her finger.
Applause. Hugs. Laughter. Joy.
A moment suspended in time
After the proposal, we captured a series of emotional couple portraits: just the two of them, glowing in the last light of day. Their love was effortless to photograph: Rachel with her radiant smile, Rand with that quiet gaze filled with admiration.
Then came a few joyful group shots with friends and family.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, we quietly stepped off the yacht, leaving them to their candlelit dinner on deck, a beautifully set table waiting for them.
From the dock, I turned back for one last photo of the yacht.
A perfect ending to a whirlwind story.
A love that needed no rehearsal
Rand thanked me with sincerity I’ll never forget.
Two days later, I delivered 598 professionally edited images: a visual legacy of a story they’ll be telling for the rest of their lives.
And that’s the beauty of what I do:
Capturing the extraordinary, even when nothing goes as planned.
Especially then.
