It was a cold and blistery day- rainy, even. Their skin was red from the cold. But love being love, and as grand as new love is, this couple didn't seem to mind the weather. Love provides it's own warmth, as we all know.
It was an extreme honor and privilege to capture the surprise proposal of Nathan + Grace (albeit hiding in the bushes and shivering with cold that I could barely hold my camera...but of course, it was so worth it). Nathan had been planning the surprise for weeks, and thankfully Grace didn't have a clue (Nathan had been dropping hints about a different day a week later so she wouldn't suspect). That is, until he stopped her on their [seemingly] secluded walk and pulled out a big bouquet of two dozen beautiful red roses. The night before he had strung a few lights in a little spot he chose, and at the given sign I turned them on from my hiding spot. Lights...camera...action! It was the sweetest thing seeing my sister light up with the utmost happiness and joy as Nathan got down on one knee, ring in hand, and asked her to spend the rest of her life as his wife. It was a priceless moment to photograph.
And needless to say, the ring...gasp... is unbelievably GORGEOUS! I can't wait until we do more pictures soon!
Photographer's note: Because it was such a dreary day (weather-wise), plus the fact that we were in a wooded area, the lighting was pretty awful for pictures. However, there will be an "official" engagement session coming soon (so stay tuned!) on a much nicer day. The pictures that follow are just the documentation of the surprise proposal...we had to wait another day to do the engagement pictures.
They are lovely! Very natural! Sweet!
