As a photographer, I get to be a part of some pretty incredible moments, and this shoot was definitely one of them! ❤️
A few months ago, Veronica McFadden reached out and asked if I would help her pull off a very exciting proposal to her then-girlfriend, now fiancée, and soon-to-be wife, Caitlynn!
Veronica, Caitlynn and I planned a fun photoshoot with just the two of them and their super-cute pups, but Veronica had something completely different up her sleeve. 😉
The day of the shoot, the weather was absolutely miserable. It rained all day! I texted Veronica to check in and see what she wanted to do, but she was so excited and ready to make this happen that there was no way we were postponing.
We started with a quick 10-minute photoshoot while their family and friends were quietly guided to their hiding spots, waiting for the big moment. Meanwhile, the rain kept coming down, and the mosquitoes were out in full force, apparently determined to get a front-row seat to this love story! 😂
I pretended that I had scouted out a beautiful area on the property for us to take some photos, which gave us the perfect excuse to make our way toward the spot Veronica had chosen for the proposal.
Underneath a beautiful tree was a heart made out of rocks, each one painted by Caitlynn throughout their time together. It was such a meaningful and personal spot.
By this point, Caitlynn knew something was up. You could see the nerves starting to kick in!
Veronica joined their family and friends behind the tree while I guided Caitlynn toward the heart. And then it began.
One by one, each group of family and friends walked toward Caitlynn and gifted her a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a handwritten note attached.
And then came the moment we had all been waiting for.
Veronica walked out holding the most beautiful bouquet of orange flowers, got down on one knee, and asked Caitlynn to spend the rest of her life with her.
It was absolutely beautiful. And Caitlynn said YES!!! 🥹🧡💍
Thank you, Veronica, for trusting me to capture such an incredibly special moment in your story. And congratulations to you both! I wish you a lifetime filled with love, happiness, laughter, and countless beautiful memories together.
I can't wait for the wedding!! 🧡✨
