I really love when I get to capture a real-life surprise proposal. There is something so raw and beautiful about capturing the surprise that it’s just so emotional and beautiful. And I also get to practice my ninja photography skills, usually hiding behind a tree or something like that. :)

So when Neil contacted me to photograph his proposal to Eshita, I jumped at the chance of course.

And as part of the whole plan, Neil had told Eshita BFFs what he was doing and they all flew in from different parts of the states to be part of it all. So Eshita had no idea about any of it. She had no clue that on that day the love of her life planned to ask her for her hand in marriage and that all of her bests friends were going to be there too.

Proposal at South Pointe Park

Neil had planned to propose at South Pointe Park and myself and her best friends were there hiding behind a tree! The excitement was off the charts and I really had to concentrate on my job of capturing every single thing. Each moment, the surprise, both their reactions, the smiles, the happy tears and then on top of all those emotions her besties come running, literally, from out from behind a tree to congratulate and celebrate with the happy couple.
