I was contacted by Anthony's sister about his plan to propose to Raechel. She asked me if I thought it was a good idea to photograph it...my answer was of course; "Heck freakin' yeah it is!" I spoke with Anthony and he was game and impressively prepared. He had made a photo book of their time together complete with an image of the ring on the back cover to initiate the proposal. We devised a plan to put me close to the action. Here it goes...

I asked Anthony to meet me at Sinatra Park where the first met and walk near me while I was pretending to talk to a client. When they got close I hung up and asked them if I could take a quick picture of them to test my exposure while my couple arrived. He agreed and Raechel thought I was a freak. jaja

Anthony then proceeded to take a book out of my bag and hand it to her to look through. It contained images from their time together. Cool stuff! Since Raechel knew I was there waiting for a "client" I was now able to float around and grab the moments. Still a weirdo though I was later told. 

The last page is reached and the ring comes out. The back cover is a picture of the ring and now it's on her finger...

Photogs live for this kind of emotion. We normally don't get a chance to be here.

Yes, that really just happened...
Let's go have some fun.

DId I mention it had just poured buckets and we waited it out to make sure we got the shoot in? We had to get some reflections in there.

Thanks for the light Scott!

Thanks again to Anthony & Raechel for waiting out the storm and braving the 1000% humidity. It was well worth it! You guys rock!

Thanks for stopping by folks. Until next time...

Me fui!
