Proposal

Dressed in some camouflage, Maggie and I drove 3 hours and photographed the beginning of this wonderful couples life together. I have always wanted to catch this moment. At a recent wedding, a brides maid was asking me about our business and she thought that her boyfriend was going to ask her to marry him. I mentioned it would be fantastic to document the proposal, and the idea was planted. One month later Maggie received a call from her fella and he wanted to know if it was possible, and how it would happen : ) Today it all went down. Maggie and I got to catch some beautiful moments for this couple while we where decked out in camo. Maggie took the one picture of me. All the shots I took where taken with the 70-200 2.8. I had to be careful not to give away my position because it was so quiet around the lake where the proposal was happening. We where hiding in bushes and behind trees. Maggie was so cute being so perfectly still and amazing. I usually don't post client stuff on JPG but I couldn't resist sharing this wonderful moment with my JPG friends.
