Naadia and Jamie - Rowhill Grange & Utopia Spa Hotel Proposal
The Planning
Jamie contacted me a few weeks before the proposal. He had all the details figured out - the ring, the place, the time, the gazebo and afternoon tea. He had planned a spa day away for him and his partner, Naadia, at the Rowhill Grange & Utopia Spa hotel near Dartford. He arranged a company to decorate the gazebo at the hotel and had an afternoon tea set up there as well.
The plan worked perfectly. Naadia had a massage booked from 12 until 12:30 during which we made sure everything was okay and made sure the wind didn’t knock one of the decorative trees over towards the table where the ring was hidden and where the afternoon tea was set up.
The hotel itself and the grounds were fantastic. The weather, apart from the random gusts of wind, was definitely on our side. The weather forecast kept changing and also the chances of rain were high according to the ever-so-unreliable weather apps but in the end the rain held off for us.
The decorated gazebo looked gorgeous thanks to A&K Event Styling Ltd and the afternoon tea which was prepared by the hotel looked, and tasted, amazing. Thank you so much Naadia and Jamie for letting me have the smoked salmon sandwiches from your afternoon tea!
The ring! The ring was nothing short of incredible. Jamie could not have done a better job at picking the ring. I can tell you this because Naadia did not stop looking at it throughout the hour or so I had with them and indeed it was a fine piece of jewellery.

I’m forever grateful I got to photograph Naadia and Jamie’s proposal and also to receive this message from Naadia afterwards.
“Stan....we are honestly lost for words...The pictures are absolutely beautiful, every single one captures a different emotion that helped us to relive and remember that particular moment in time. The photos are stunning and we love them. We cannot wait to share them with our family and friends. I'm so pleased that you were recommended to Jamie and that you were available on the weekend as planned. It was meant to be!”
