Stevan’s Proposal to Paula at Acadia in Bar Harbor, Maine

When Stevan reached out about proposing to his girlfriend, Paula, he already had a plan in mind. On the day of the proposal, Stevan and Paula would arrive at their hotel in Bar Harbor, they would change, and then they would have an early dinner. Afterwards, they would pick up their dog, Nala, and they would head to Acadia National Park to enjoy the sunset (or at least that is what Stevan would tell Paula).

We helped Stevan finalize a specific location near Otter Cliff. He wanted our photography coverage to be a complete surprise, so Matt and I arrived early and pretended to be tourists enjoying the view. Some time after, Stevan and Paula arrived and walked around for a few minutes. Stevan then got down on one knee and asked Paula to marry him. Paula was very surprised, and she excitedly said YES! The two of them had a happy little moment together, and then we eventually walked over and introduced ourselves to Paula. The four of us then spent the evening taking pictures along the cliffs. Nala was just as excited as her mom and dad, and she had a lot of fun getting her picture taken, too!

It was a lovely evening, and we’re honored that Stevan asked us to capture such a special moment. Paula and Stevan will be married this May in New Jersey, and we wish them all the happiness in the world. We’ve included our favorite photos from their session below. Enjoy!
