The groom asked me to capture his surprise proposal. We discussed ideas, locations, gave me a map to the exact location, how he envisioned it, and asked me to blend in. With the location it was pretty easy. Brought my son with me, wore a beach hat, and pretended to take photos of the surfers and scenery….and at the signal (his drone flying and him taking an instagram photo of her) turn around and start shooting. It turned out great and couldn’t help but tear up myself. (Check out the rest of this surprise proposal photos HERE )
