Madeline and Frankie were engaged above a waterfall in the mountains of northern Georgia!
Madeline and Frankie had originally met when they were students at Furman University and lived near each other. They’ve been together for 5 years. One perfect spring day, they met up with their friends Drew and Christina for dinner at the Waterfall Club in northern Georgia, where they’d had photos taken before. After dinner, they decided to walk around on the golf course. As they reached the tee for Hole 2, which is at the top of the waterfall and overlooks the mountains, Drew offered to take a photo. Frankie said he wanted a photo of just Madeline in a pose he really liked, and when she was turned around, Frankie got down on one knee. Madeline couldn’t believe it was happening right then, and after they kissed, Frankie told her, “you have to say “yes” for it to be official.” And she did!
I was actually chilling in my car, which was parked right next to Hole 2 with the window open so I could get the perfect shot of the proposal without seeming too obvious. It was so quiet there and a car only passed by every few minutes, so I knew this would be the prettiest and the most peaceful place to get engaged! I coordinated with Drew leading up to the proposal so that Madeline wouldn’t see me texting Frankie. I told Drew where I thought we would get the best view and he made sure Madeline stood there. After Madeline said yes and found out I was there, we took a few more photos at the top of the waterfall before we drove down to the bottom. I barely had to pose Frankie and Madeline because they kept naturally getting into the best poses, and when I did give some posing suggestions, they knew right away what to do!
Check out some of my favorite photos of Madeline and Frankie on this beautiful spring evening in the mountains of north Georgia!
Ready for the best day ever?
My name is Christine (Scott) Gow and I’m an elopement photographer based out of Greenville, South Carolina. I’m a wife and a beagle mom. The three of us have visited beautiful places in every corner of South Carolina, to include all 48 of our state parks. Sometimes we wear hiking boots, sometimes we wear dress shoes, and sometimes we’re barefoot in the surf.
One thing I love about South Carolina is that it’s not just the beaches and colorful houses that you imagine when you picture it. Whether you’re looking for mountains, beaches, or anything in between; I can help you find the perfect place for the two of you and make it as smooth of a day as possible. No matter how you two choose to spend your day, I’m happy you’re doing it the way that you want.
I can’t wait to meet you!
