He asked, she said yes (and I took pictures)!

Today I photographed one of my favorite "sessions" ever.

I shot it while I was crouched on the ground.

Behind a car.

In the rain.

Super-duper-stealthy-007-Magnum PI-ninja-style.

And only one of my subjects knew they were being photographed.

This morning, one of our very good friends proposed to one of our other very good friends. I love (lovelovelove) this couple...Sara and Larry are just wonderful in every way. They're fun, light-hearted, energetic, and hilarious!

So when Larry messaged me about capturing this special moment, I was all in and super stoked! Despite curious neighbors (who, thank goodness, didn't call the police on me), dark clouds and ominous thunder, plus a very nervous and pacing Larry, the proposal was a success--because Sara said YES!

Here are a few photos of their very special, super sweet engagement! Enjoy :)

Larry was SUPER nervous right about now, but he was all smiles. He showed me the ring and asked (probably no less than five times), "What do you think? Is it good? Do you think she'll like it?" Are you kidding?! Take a look at that bling, folks! Larry did a great job. It's a beautiful ring for a beautiful girl.

One super sweet thing about this was that, in trying to plan his proposal, Larry really wanted to find a way to 1. Catch Sara off guard, and 2. Include their dog, Gracie. Sara is a huge dog lover and Grace-face is her baby. I love Gracie in this picture, sharing in her mom and dad's special moment! Also, when Larry pulled the ring out and went down on one knee, Sara goes, "What are you doing? LARRY! Oh my God!" It was priceless.

Just a great shot showing the laughter shared in this special couple! Sara kept staring at her ring, hugging Larry and saying, "I'm just so happy right now! I love you. Look at my ring! I love you!"

And we'll end it with this great shot. Happy engagement day to a truly awesome couple. Here's to a life full of laughter!
