I have to say, one of the biggest perks of being a photographer is being present and in the moment with people on some of their best days. Engagements, weddings, pregnancies. The best days! Every now and then I have the opportunity to photograph a proposal and I have to say, proposals are some of my absolute FAVORITE moments to capture. Aside from being able to document such a life changing moment for a couple, the adrenaline surrounding hiding in the bushes taking pictures and trying not to be seen all while being part of a life changing moment. There is nothing better!
Ryan went all out to surprise Kristy at Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, their afternoon started at Nelson’s and then they decided to take what Kristy thought was just a casual walk down to the beach.
She had no idea that a casual walk was going to turn in to such an incredible moment!When Ryan pointed out where I was hiding and that the whole experience had been photographed.One of the first things Kristy asked after her ring was on her finger was, “Do my parents know!?” Ryan responded that he’d talked to her parents months before and that both his parents and her parents were meeting them at Terranea to celebrate with them, talk about excellent planning!Of course we had to sneak in a few portraits to celebrate their newly engaged status before heading back up the hill. This is one of my favorites. Kristy, you are stunning! ♥
