A Magical Surprise Proposal and Babymoon Session: Ethan & Paige

15/1/2025

Some moments stick with you forever, and Ethan and Paige’s surprise proposal at Jardine Park in Kelvin Heights, Queenstown, is definitely one of them. This was my first-ever surprise proposal, and to make it even more special, it was part of a maternity shoot celebrating their first baby together. Talk about magical!

Ethan had planned every detail to perfection, and Jardine Park—one of my new favorite locations—set the scene beautifully. With its sweeping views, golden light, and tranquil vibe, it felt like a little slice of paradise for this unforgettable moment. Paige thought it was just a maternity session, capturing memories of their babymoon in Queenstown. Little did she know, Ethan had a surprise that would change their lives forever.

The proposal was nothing short of breathtaking. As Paige turned to see Ethan down on one knee, her reaction was pure joy. It was such a privilege to witness their love and document this incredible chapter in their story. The excitement of their engagement, combined with the anticipation of their first baby, created a session filled with so much emotion and happiness.

We captured a mix of maternity and engagement shots that perfectly told their story—Paige glowing with that beautiful expectant-mama energy, Ethan beaming with love and pride, and the two of them together, savoring the magic of this new season in their lives.

Being part of a moment as intimate and life-changing as this was truly an honor. It reminded me why I love what I do—freezing time and creating tangible memories of life’s most precious milestones. Ethan and Paige, I wish you both so much happiness as you embark on the incredible journey of marriage and parenthood.

Queenstown has a way of making moments feel larger than life, and Jardine Park was the perfect backdrop for this story. If you’re planning a proposal, a babymoon, or just want to celebrate a beautiful chapter in your life, let’s make it unforgettable together. 💕

"Steph at Lullaby Grace is hands down the most caring & gentle soul! I've had 3 photo sessions with her and every time she has produced the most gorgeous shots.
She's so professional and you can tell she truly cares about the families and her work, each time we had photos we all felt so comfortable. I cannot recommend her enough, if you need newborn/1 year old or any family photos - this is the photographer you need :)" Raelene Huddleston

What a breathtaking session! Ethan and Paige’s surprise proposal woven into their babymoon maternity shoot is the kind of love story that feels straight out of a dream. Jardine Park in Queenstown provided such a magical backdrop—it’s no wonder this moment will stay with you forever.

As someone based in Auckland, I’m inspired by how beautifully you captured both the intimacy and the grandeur of this milestone. It’s a reminder that love stories deserve to be told with intention and artistry. While Queenstown offers those sweeping alpine views, we’re lucky here in Tāmaki Makaurau to have our own stunning locations—like the golden sands of Muriwai Beach or the lush serenity of Cornwall Park—that could host similarly heartfelt sessions.

Your ability to blend the joy of a new engagement with the anticipation of parenthood is truly special. It makes me want to explore how we can create equally meaningful experiences for couples and families here in Auckland.

Thank you for sharing such a moving story—it’s a beautiful testament to the power of thoughtful photography.
