Wyche Pavilion Greenville SC Engagement | Mike and Tara

Featured on the blog today is Mike and Tara’s engagement session. We returned to where he proposed to her for their session in downtown Greenville SC at the Wyche Pavilion. If you haven’t been down, there is a beautiful hollowed-out old mill that sits next to the river and in downtown Greenville SC. It is a popular location for elegant weddings.

As soon as I met this couple, I liked them a lot. They are precious and a joy to be around. They love traveling, happy hour, and hanging out together. They met in college at Clemson University. Go Tigers! Mike liked Tara all through college, but they were just friends. A year after Mike graduated, they started talking and have been together for about four and a half years. It makes me so happy he finally got the girl he had always wanted (insert heart eyes!)!

Mike’s proposal to Tara is like something out of a Hallmark movie. He walked into downtown Greenville to decide where he wanted to do it. He already had the ring (and it was beautiful!). They are both romantics, so he wanted to make a perfect plan.  He decided on the Wyche Pavilion and saw a photographer there. He asked if he could return that evening at a specific time. He said he would. He then walked up to the park and saw a saxophone player, and asked if he would be willing to play in the Wyche Pavilion that evening. He said yes, and Mike went back to work.

That evening they went to Soby’s for a drink and then walked. They heard music and followed it down to…you guessed it. They sat in one of the big window openings listening to the music, and Mike started talking about their shared history and the love of their life together, and then he got down on one knee and asked her the big question. Tara cried and said yes. Then she noticed a photographer with a telephoto lens outside the pavilion. She had no idea that he had captured their special moment in real-time. I love their story and Mike’s effort to make this moment memorable for Tara. #relationshipgoals
