The Atlanta wedding photographers at Atlanta Artistic Weddings absolutely love love! As it turns out, there are plenty of opportunities throughout the year to celebrate love, one of them being National Proposal Day, which takes place on March 20th each year.

This holiday is meant to give people courage to take the plunge with the one they love and commit to them in a special way. Take time to plan a romantic gesture for your loved one on the day and, if you’re stumped, here is a little bit of background and a few ideas to give you a head start.
