I typically go for walks in the evenings, but tonight the universe was quietly urging me to bring my camera along. It took all of five minutes of walking to stumble upon this guy in the process of proposing to this girl. There were a lot of friends shooting different angles during the actual proposal, but I did want to get a photo of the happy couple after the fact. Completely unlike me, I didn't ask their names when I snapped this shot (so please let me know if you know them). I can't explain how fun it is to photograph people in these deeply joyful moments.
EDIT: Their names are Sarah and Jesse. Woo internet! (and I'm told she's an Olympic rifleist)
Very few things are more exciting to photograph than a proposal. Add to that a ranch, lots of horses, the sounds of nature, and a setting sun, and you pretty much have the most incredible setting ever for a proposal. I had the recent chance to photograph Spencer and Sarah, newly engaged as of last night. If I could just shoot evenings like this every day, I would would be thrilled. My hope is that these photos transport you and convey the joy, love, and beauty of this moment.
Thank you, Spencer, for having me there to capture the moment (and thank you Sarah, even though you had no idea I was there). It was truly an honor and I wish you both the very best in this next chapter.
