Hello Everyone! Switching gears today and bringing you an amazing surprise proposal. It’s no secret I love surprise proposals and I have covered a few in the past. This one was special because I happen to know the soon to be bride and groom! I’ve known Samuel for about 10 years so I’ve seen him transition from a teen to a Man. When he told me about his big plan I was so excited and could not wait to capture the proposal. We laid out our plan and with the help of his friends we executed it perfectly. I usually share the proposal story all at once for you to read before viewing the pictures but today I am going to do it differently. I will break the story up and put them next to the image to fits the part of the story best. Congrats to Samuel and Bukky! I wish you both the very best.  Check out the images and story below (Bukky’s version). Enjoy!

So I have always loved ferris wheels, so i have been bugging him for months to take me on the Atlanta Skyview (a ferris wheel in downtown Atlanta). He finally agreed to take me on friday and then we planned to head to a friend’s birthday dinner afterwards. On our way to Skyview i noticed that he was acting weird….quiet, not really paying attention, etc. I asked what was wrong and he said he was tired so i let it go. We went on the ferris wheel as planned (LOVED IT! lol)

After he suggested that we walk over to Centennial Olympic Park by the water fountains.

When we got there i told him that we needed to take a break and sit by the benches (My feet hurt, lol).

while we were sitting there i heard our song (Joe-No one else comes close:)) And i looked at him and said it was odd because its a slow song and its an old song for them to be playing at the park.

He suggested we go closer the fountain…

..and when we got down there i saw one of his friends (Dj Ecool) standing behind a speaker

By the time i turned to him and asked what was going on he had started his “proposal speech” and then the tears came! lol.

I saw Steve (Fotos by Fola) with a camera….

He got on his knee…

…. then i heard screaming and shouting and looked up to see a huge crowd of our family and friends running towards us!!!!

Of course i said yes and he put the ring (AKA Rock) on my finger!

We have been dating since we were 16, so it was truly the best moment of my life as the man of my dreams asked me to become his queen just as the sun set in the background, the water fountain erupted, and family and friends cheered and supported us.

Hello Folks! I have a great surprise proposal to share today. Usually I start off by explaining the proposal plan and the entire process but today I will do the complete opposite. I will break down the proposal at the bottom of the post after you are done viewing the pictures. I want you to get an idea of how it went from your own perspective. Enjoy!

Now the story..lol 🙂

Anand reached out to me about his plan to propose a few weeks before the date so we had time to plot every aspect of the plan to perfection. I have done many proposals in the past but this one was definitely one of a kind! The plan was for the proposal to happen while Freny was on a Fox theatre tour. Anand and Freny went to a show at the Fox theatre the day before the proposal and he told her they won tickets to go on a tour of the Fox the next day. He later backed out claiming he had to work 🙂 . Anand had Freny’s close friend fill in for him so the plan was all set 🙂 . We realized it was going to be difficult to take pictures of her without her getting suspicious so we came up with a plan that I would be the staff photographer for the fox theatre. This gave me the freedom to take pictures of random people on the group tour but I obviously focused on Freny. It worked out perfectly! Anand had a second surprise. He invited close friends and family and had them all wait at the restaurant across the street (Livingston @ The Georgian Terrace Hotel). When we were done taking pictures Freny thought it was all over and I left as well. A few minutes later Anand walked her into the restaurant and she was shocked to see all the familiar faces! This was definitely one of my favorite surprise proposals and so glad I was part of it! Congrats to Anand and Freny. I wish you both the very best!

Hello There! Surprise proposals never get old. In fact I truly love being part of them. This surprise proposal  was coordinated internationally! lol. Robin lives in the UK so planning for this surprise proposal was not exactly easy. Luckily, Robin had two future sister-in-laws to help him in making it all possible. They reached out to me and we got the ball rolling. The weather cooperated and the proposal was a success! Jenny was completely surprised. Congrats guys on your engagement. I wish you both the best!! Check out some images from the day. Enjoy!

Hello guys. Switching gears today. I have a surprise proposal to share 🙂 . While Surprise proposals are nice they can be very tricky. As a photographer you don’t want to be the person screwing up the surprise..lol. So stealth mode photography was definitely in effect:)! Kiyu contacted me a few days earlier about his plan and wanted to propose to Jina at their favorite park with the city as a backdrop. The only issue is it had been raining so much around that time and was looking like it would rain on the day he wanted to propose. Thankfully on the day of the proposal the light drizzling rain stop right as the plan was set in motion. Congrats to Kiyu and Jina. I wish you guys the best. Check out some images from the day. Enjoy.

Hello Friends! Thanks for dropping by. Today i have a surprise proposal to share!

Kam is a fellow wedding photographer and has assisted me in the past so i was excited when she contacted me about doing a shoot for her. I know you are probably wondering why she would contact me to cover a surprise proposal that she is not supposed to know about?…lol. Well, as with all proposals there is always a behind the scenes story. Kam and Dion have always wanted to take proffesional pictures together which worked to Dion’s advantage in his plan to surprise Kam. Kam’s birthday was coming up so they decided they would like to do a shoot just for fun and to celebrate Kam’s birthday. Dion contacted me shortly after to explain his grand plan. His plan was for her to just believe they would do a shoot and go to dinner after the shoot. However the real plan was after the shoot he would make a pit stop at her parents house to pick something up (cover up ) but all her close friends and family would be there waiting to surprise her for her birthday party. The second part of the surprise was to propose to her and offcourse she had absolutely no idea this was going to happen. At the end of the day everything worked out perfectly! I had so much fun with them on the shoot and glad i could capture the big surprise. Congrats guys! Check out some of the pictures from the day!

Happy Friday! Going to switch gears a bit. Today i have a surprise proposal to share. Matt contacted me about his big plans and i was more than excited to be a part of it. Kristin loves flowers so the plan was to propose at the Atlanta Botanical Garden which has a ton of flowers. Matt also did not want Kristin to know pictures were being taken until she says the big “Yes”. Obviously i had to make sure i was not seen when they were both walking around the garden which was not an easy task..lol. Thankfully everything worked out and Matt & Kristin are now Engaged! Congrats guys. Check out a few shots from the day.

Raymond contacted me about a month before his proposal date and at the time he was not even sure which day it would be. Kenyatta works out of town so he had to perfectly coordinate the surprise proposal without giving any hints. By the time he figured out the date it happened to be the same weekend i was planning to travel out of state for a wedding. Determined to still have me shoot this surprise proposal (extremely honored 🙂 ) he moved the date 3 days earlier than his original plan. So officially the date was set. Next thing up was the weather. There was a severe weather alert that day so i was worried it would affect the shoot but through the strong winds and heavy clouds we still got some amazing pictures.

Raymond and Kenyatta’s relationship is a true love story. When they told me they met each other for the first time in elementary school i was like WOW! If you are meant to be with someone no matter how much life separates you somehow and some way you’ll cross paths again. That was the case for them. Raymond’s plan for the proposal was to tell Kenyatta he wants them to do a photo shoot at Piedmont Park so she would not suspect anything (1st proposal i’ve done that did not require me to hide lol) and midway through the shoot pop the big question. Everything worked out perfectly and she said YES! She also had no clue it was coming :). Thank you Raymond for allowing me to capture such a special moment. Wish you guys the best! Check out a few pics from the day. Enjoy!
