A Romantic Surprise Proposal at Guild Inn Estate | Leah & Ryan
There’s something magical about a proposal — that moment when two lives shift forever. Leah and Ryan’s beautiful surprise proposal at Guild Inn Estate was elegant, emotional, and full of excitement. Hidden among the gardens and historic architecture, this iconic Toronto venue set the perfect stage for a cinematic moment they’ll cherish for a lifetime.
As soon as Leah walked into the courtyard, she thought she was simply celebrating their anniversary — but Ryan had a much bigger plan. And we were there to capture every second.
Ryan worked closely with us to plan the moment so everything unfolded naturally. As Leah reached the center of the garden, she spotted a beautiful display — photos that celebrated their journey together. Her smile said it all.
Then Ryan dropped to one knee.
Her reaction was pure joy — laughter, tears, and that “yes!” that changed everything.
We then spent time capturing the excitement right after the proposal: the ring close-ups, the beautiful scenery, and their first walk together as an engaged couple. These are the in-between moments we love most — the ones that show real connection.
