Surprise Proposal at The Abbey Inn and Spa, Peekskill, New York

Written By Melinda Garrick

Nothing is better than a surprise proposal! I was so excited when Santosh contacted me about capturing his proposal at The Abbey Inn and Spa in Peekskill, NY. Since Santosh had never been to Peekskill, he was looking for the perfect spot with Hudson River views to propose. To prepare for the session, I went to The Abbey Inn and Spa a few days early and recorded a video for Santosh of the location that he could propose and where I would be hiding to capture the magic!

Santosh is from Georgia and his fiancee Rishi is from India. He chose the Abbey Inn and Spa because of the location was not too far from the city. With the pandemic and limited time off, this was the perfect time for Santosh to propose. After the proposal, Santosh felt a sense of relief and happiness that Rishi was genuinely happy and surprised. Congratulations to Santosh and Rishi on their engagement! Wishing them a lifetime of happiness! Here are some of my favorites from the proposal:
