Meet Alec and Danielle, a captivating couple from the United States, their love story intertwining at Ohio State University in 2013. Danielle, an Ohio native, found love with Alec, a football recruit from South Florida. Their journey together led them to Miami, where they’ve embraced love’s adventure since.
Alec orchestrated a magical surprise for Danielle, presenting her with a “plane ticket” on her December birthday, revealing their upcoming journey to Greece. In May, their dreamy trip commenced, traversing Athens, Mykonos, and culminating with three enchanting days in Santorini.
A proposal wasn’t at the forefront of Danielle’s mind as they arrived in Santorini, for who would travel across Greece with a ring in hand, she mused. Little did she know, Alec had been meticulously planning a surprise proposal in Santorini, and I, a Santorini photographer, played a key role.
With minimal plans, a wine tour was a must, and Alec seamlessly incorporated it into their itinerary, concealing the surprise. On the fateful day, at Canaves Oia, Luxury Resorts and Villas, love and destiny converged. While Danielle prepared, Alec entrusted me with the ring, ready to make this moment eternally memorable.
As the sun painted the sky, Alec knelt down before her, words of love and a sparkling ring in hand. Overwhelmed with emotion, Danielle exclaimed “YES!” with joy in her eyes. Alec had planned for a surprise—an engagement photo shoot in Santorini, creating timeless memories of this extraordinary day.
Alec and Danielle, thank you for hiring me as your Santorini photographer and for sharing these beautiful images and your story on How They Asked.
