On Saturday, August 13, our neighbors Adam and Krista got engaged. These are some photos of the actual proposal and following celebration.
Adam approached me the previous Thursday evening and explained that he was going to be buying the ring that they both looked at just days before. He wanted to get it fast since he was sure that she would not expect anything so soon.
His plan involved me playing the part of “neighbor taking photos” that he wanted to take to send to some family out of state that they have not seen in a while. We devised a “secret code” that I would say while shooting that would give him the signal to do his thing. (The code was me saying “OK guys, let’s move right over… here”, and we decided on that roughly 5 minutes before it happened)
It was fun taking photos of the actual proposal. When Adam pulled out the box containing the ring, the two of them drifted into their own world where nothing around them mattered for that moment. In disbelief, Krista said “You’re doing this right now?”… her shock soon turned into tears of joy.
So, Melanie and I are extremely happy for them and were glad to join them in celebration that night. And, I’m glad that I was able to capture this moment for them.
