Romance in the Sky-Charleston Rooftop Proposals

One of the most unforgettable moments I get to witness as a photographer is a proposal and Charleston truly knows how to set the stage for magic! With its historic charm, golden sunsets, and skyline views, it’s no wonder that rooftop proposals in the Holy City are becoming a favorite for couples ready to say “yes!”
 
Charleston’s rooftops offer a one-of-a-kind view, where the city’s historic charm and modern beauty create the perfect setting. Recently, I had the joy of capturing an incredibly sweet proposal that took place high above the city, where the views are just as breathtaking as the love story unfolding.

A Rooftop Surprise at The Dewberry Hotel

The proposal took place at the iconic Dewberry Hotel, a Charleston favorite for its sophisticated style and stunning rooftop lounge, the Citrus Club. The views of the city from the rooftop created the perfect setting for this special moment. As the sun began to set, the soon-to-be-engaged couple stood on the rooftop, lost in the magic of the moment. And then came the big “yes!”
 
But that wasn’t the only surprise. After the proposal, the bride-to-be was led to the Citrus Club, where she was met with the joyous cheers of her family, who had been waiting to celebrate with the newly engaged couple. The excitement, the tears, the joy… it was such a beautiful experience to witness and document. This surprise moment made the day even more unforgettable, a true reflection of the love and support surrounding them.

Why Rooftop Proposals are So Special

There’s something so intimate and cinematic about rooftop proposals. The height gives a sense of privacy while still being in the heart of the city, surrounded by its beauty. The stunning views, whether at sunset or under the stars, create a dreamy backdrop that feels straight out of a movie. The breeze in the air, the quiet space just for two—it’s a setting that invites romance and emotion to flow freely.
 
These elevated spaces provide couples with a moment of peace and connection while still being surrounded by the vibrancy of Charleston. It’s the perfect way to create a magical and personal experience.
