Brian asked Deborah to marry him in the gardens of La Mamounia in Marrakech. Their afternoon began beneath the olive trees, beside a table filled with red roses, and continued with portraits around the hotel. As evening fell, they celebrated with a candlelit dinner among the mosaic columns.

A garden proposal and portraits at La Mamounia

Deborah covered her mouth as Brian went down on one knee. There were smiles, an embrace and a closer look at the ring, followed by drinks and pastries at their garden table. The photographs follow those small moments as well as the proposal itself.

Afterwards, we walked through the olive-tree avenues and stopped beside pink walls, tiled fountains and white arches. Their portraits move between the garden and the hotel’s courtyards, with time to laugh, walk and simply enjoy being together.

An engagement dinner by candlelight

A path lined with candles and rose petals led Brian and Deborah to their dinner table. Flowers, patterned plates and lanterns filled the space between the mosaic columns. The evening photographs bring the story to a close: holding hands, a quiet kiss and a toast across the table.
