The surprise proposal for S at Eden Gardens State Park was an absolute dream! Ever since I met S during spring kickball, we became fast friends, and when G asked me to photograph their proposal, it was a no-brainer!

F just pulled off the ultimate swoon-worthy move! Picture this: F and V, after getting their pups out of the truck, stroll into the nature trail with their adorable new fur ball (who V had gone to pick up that week in New York), all excited for their photoshoot to showcase the newest addition to their family. Little did V know, F had a sneaky plan up his sleeve. As they stood back to back with the pups, Forest dropped down on one knee and popped the big question! Cue the happy tears and the “OMG, is this for real?!” expressions. After the “yes” and a gazillion happy hugs and kisses, we headed to the beach just as the sky was turning that magical shades of blues, pinks and oranges. Running around hand in hand, we celebrated against the backdrop of the ocean and the sky before they headed off to dinner with friends that were awaiting to congratulate them!

When K reached out to me about getting photos done before S deployed I knew it was important to get them in. As a military partner myself, I knew just how important having these photos were for K. They are something to hold on to in the months that he is gone.

C + K are high school sweet hearts. I have know C + K since high school and K and I were good friends so I distinctly remember when they started dating and lots of good memories with them after that! K and I even spent several summers down in St. Augustine along with other friends during high school. Such good times!
