BOCA GRANDE BEACH ENGAGEMENT

Ben and Bella might call Nashville home, but their hearts are in Boca Grande. Any chance they get, they escape to the island because they love it’s laid-back charm, and this visit was extra special. The couple came down to celebrate their birthdays with family, but Ben had something much bigger in mind.

What started under the disguise of a “family photoshoot” on the beach turned into a life-changing moment. With the waves behind them and Bella’s family on hand, Ben dropped to one knee and proposed on the beach. The surprise didn’t stop there. Right after she said yes, Ben’s family showed up to join the celebration too!

This Boca Grande beach engagement was full of heartfelt emotion and joyful energy. After a few more photos on the beach, Bella got another surprise, her sister had secretly decorated their golf cart with engagement banners and ribbons for the perfect island-style getaway ride.

We cruised to all their favorite island spots, stopping along Banyan Street and the iconic Gasparilla Inn for additional engagement photos. We wrapped up in time for them to head back to a house full of loved ones, where a surprise engagement party was waiting.

This Boca Grande beach engagement was thoughtful, joyful, and as unforgettable as the couple themselves. Scroll down to see some of the highlights from Ben and Bella’s picture-perfect proposal and beach celebration.
