Wedding Proposal Gold Coast Main Beach | Tom and Tamita

Picnic Proposal on the Beach in Gold Coast, QLD

Tamita had no idea that Tom had carefully worked with me and Pop Up Event Co. to organise a surprise for her as they walked along the beach on their way to dinner... They came across a beautiful picnic (and me hidden in the bushes again). The picnic had a letter addressed to her on it- Tom had previously organized and sent this to Pop Up Event Co. ahead of time. When she opened it, it was a wedding RSVP with her and Toms names on it. (How romantic can you get!) It was at this point Tom was able to drop to his knee and ask her to marry him- She said yes!

Congratulations to Tom and Tamita! They were a lovely couple and we had a blast at their post-engagement photoshoot as well.
