Oh my goodness… where do I begin?
I got a phone call a few weeks ago from Travis, who told me he wanted to propose to Courtney, who is a colleague of mine at the hospital. I was SO excited. Over the couple of weeks, I helped him plan, we met up to pick a location, and I tried to plan my cover, so that she would not see me or recognize me! We had it all sorted out. Everything was packed and ready to go. I brought down a full picnic with champagne for the two of them, but I sat there with Brent pretending it was our picnic.
I am going to be completely honest. Photographing a proposal is SO nerve racking, and so exhilerating and so wonderful!!! I enjoyed being under cover hidden in the grass laying on my stomach. It felt like I was on a top secret mission. Brent came along to make make us look like a random couple picnicking in the park, but he mostly just laughed at me lol.
But in all seriousness… I have a new respect for how much planning and thought goes into a proposal. He was so thoughtful about every single detail, and wanted everything to be perfect. These two are very lucky to be together.
