They call Myrtle Beach the Las Vegas of the South, and for good reason. A lot of couples get engaged and married in the Grand Strand area. I have photographed a good deal of surprise proposals on the beach over the years. 

 However, for local Murrells Inlet guy Brandon, the location of his surprise proposal to Natalie had to be special. He chose to propose on the dock of his parents' home on the inlet in where he grew up. After an evening out in the boat with Natalie and her daughter on march 3rd, Brandon got down on one knee while friends and family watched from the house. Natalie had no idea! 

 I captured the beautiful moments from the dock next door, What a wonderful time to be a part of for this couple and growing family.
