proposal

Nick & Bonnie

I was so excited when Nick reached out asking for proposal photos! His idea of a rooftop proposal at Canvas Hotel was the perfect spot. When I met these two a couple of years ago, I knew the moment would come, but I never thought I’d get to help capture it!

It was a very windy day, and the vase of flowers Nick entrusted me with actually tipped over and broke minutes before they arrived! I even had it strapped in a seatbelt on my way to the hotel and didn’t put the vase on the table too early just in case, but the wind knows no etiquette.

Thank goodness the security guard brought me a random decorative vase he found on a shelf, and the employees were great for helping clean and get new champagne glasses with fresh strawberries.

In the end, it all worked out perfectly! Look at these two cuties! Congratulations, and I cannot wait for the wedding!

Nancy & Long's Proposal

This is the cutest proposal ever put together by Nancy's fiance, Long, and Nancy's best friends, Giao and Ashley! They planned on having me do a photoshoot with the girls to build my portrait portfolio, and at the end, Long would surprise Nancy by proposing.

A few weeks ago, I posted to my Instagram story about photoshoots so that Giao could message me to carry on a fake conversation about group portraits. She then "recruited" Ashley and Nancy to be part of the photo session.

The plan was to take group and individual portraits along Lakeside Park...So far so good!

Not Long now...

Not Long now...

We were ALL so nervous because there were so many people on the bridge. It took much longer than predicted to do the individual portraits on the bridge (we did it twice because the crowd came back again).

The big moment!! I had to wave bystanders away from the background as Long proposed because they just stood at the end of the bridge watching the whole scene!

Giao and Ashley brought along so many props for the shoot, some of which they handmade! 

Doesn't Nancy have the best people in her life?! Congratulations Nancy & Long! I was so happy to be a part of this! And so was Brian, my assistant for the day :)
