Matt’s Montauk Marriage Proposal

Proposing at the end, montauk NY .

Matt and Sarah live for their summertime Montauk weekends. For Sarah, this just another weekend on the East end of Long Island. For Matt it was thee weekend. For several weeks Matt and I planned how he was going to propose. We decided the beach across from Gosman’s would be a great spot. From Gosman’s family and friends could watch as he asked the big question. I was stoked as I drove out East to Montauk and picked up a few “supplies” for the couple.

Planning an outdoor proposal can feel like a race

Our biggest concern was the weather. Throughout the day I constantly checked the weather report. Matt and I were texting back and fourth all day, and finally at 4pm we said “IT’S A-OKAY! The weather will be fine.”

Proposal Photographers don’t miss their shot

Once I arrived to the spot I put the supplies (champagne in a cooler and flowers) in a safe spot and waited. The light and the weather were amazing and so were the views of the Atlantic Ocean. Matt and Sarah arrived right on time, and walked down to the beach. They sat on a blanket and after a few moments Matt stood up. As he started to ask the big question Sara stood up as well. Matt then got down on one knee.

Congrats Matt and Sara!
