Whenever someone asks me to take pictures of a surprise engagement there is always a certain level of anxiety as the photographer. It probably has to do with the fact that we usually end hiding in the bushes. It's just part of the job I guess! But we love it.
So, the day is here, it's sunrise. I lay low in the bushes, like a cheetah hunting her pray... jk. I make that comparison because ideally the performance is like that of a cheetah. I want it to be as natural as possible. My goal is to make no sound so I can watch the moment organically unfold. Then I silently shoot away, capturing the moment FOREVER! Wow photography is amazing!!
It really is a beautiful moment to capture and even more beautiful experience to be a part of. I love seeing two people come together in promise to be partners for life.
They are both so excited and happy afterwards that it makes the pictures that more authentic and REAL!
So the moral of the story. Pay me to stalk you. JK! HA.
But, for real guys, let me hide in the bushes, sea grapes, behind cars, wherever! & capture your real authentic proposal.
Have your friends jump out of the bushes afterwards too! It is an amazing time to capture your love as a couple and the community that loves you both.
Ive seen it all and Im here to capture it all on your super duper happy day!! :)
