I got to be a part of one of the most exciting things yesterday... photograph a PROPOSAL!!!
This post will be a little different than others, as I'm going to tell the story and post photos as I tell it. Just to warn you... there is a lot of story! So here goes:
Lexy and I went to high school together, and we have always had a bit of a connection. We were never super close, but after about 7 years of us saying "When I come home from college let's get together!" and "Now that we live 45 minutes away from each other we have no excuse!" we FINALLY got together about a month ago and had such a wonderful time! We just connected. Lexy is one of the sweetest and most kind-hearted woman you could possibly meet.
Anyways, back to the story: Lexy and I had talked about how we'd like to get together before Joel and I head out on our big road trip in the end of the month. So, when Lewis contacted me to see if I could help him get this together and then photograph it, I knew it'd be a simple set up. Between lots of texts and ideas, we finally got a plan set in motion.
So, I contacted Lexy and we set up our girl's day for yesterday (Saturday). I picked her up from her apartment and told her I had a weird ritual where I get my nails done before I go on a trip - which is actually true! - and she just went along with it. So we got our nails done!
After we left the mall I told her that I needed to scope out a spot for a photo shoot for a client. I took her to the spot that Lewis had sent me on Google Maps (this was after going to the WRONG place and Lewis saying I was no where near him... oops). And when we arrived Lexy said "Oh! Lewis and I have gone fishing here and we like to go on walks and stuff, its so beautiful here!"
I then proceeded to take some "test shots" using Lexy as my model, and this is how it all went from there...

(Isn't she gorgeous?!)
Lexy thought that this man who was on a bike that had passed us had come back... so she was thinking he was just standing there awkwardly and decided to ignore him... until he touched her... then she realized it was her Lew.
I cannot express how truly happy I am for these two. They are perfect for each other. They are so in love! I hope you can see that in these photos! I cannot help but smile the entire time I look at these!
