Photographer Steven had a blast capturing Harli and Ridge’s surprise proposal on a pontoon boat for the Disney Fireworks Cruise! This cruise takes off from Disney’s Grand Floridian Marina, and tours the couple around the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake! Harli and Ridge had their family and friends with them including their kids, so they booked two boats so everyone can experience this moment which we thought was super sweet! Once it was time for fireworks, they parked both boats right in front of the Magic Kingdom, and waited for the show to begin!
We have a few tricks up our sleeve when it comes to capturing these proposals, including disguising ourselves as captains in training so no one suspects a thing! Ridge did a great job of giving Steve a signal before dropping to one knee so he could grab his gear and start capturing the moment. The look on Harli’s face was priceless, and it was so sweet seeing their friend’s and family’s reactions as well! After watching the rest of the show, we returned back to land and captured some group photos of everyone. We then snuck Harli and Ridge into the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa for some quick nighttime portraits showing off the new ring! We had such a great time capturing this proposal along with the sweetest family members! To Harli and Ridge, congratulations, and we could not be more happy for you both!
