Here is a video from Matt’s proposal to Meghan. I am all done with the images, and these are the best ones from the proposal, photo walk, and family brunch.
I woke up at 8am this Sunday morning in order to capture a wedding proposal. Matt called just two days ago asking me if I am available to shoot, and I was. We communicated via text message in the morning, coordinating logistics of catching up with them at the Palace of Fine Arts. Once I made positive ID, I followed the couple, acting like a regular tourist with a couple of professional cameras, taking shots of PFA and the couple when Meghan was not looking in my direction. While Meghan was taking a photo of the ceiling of the PFA dome, Matt got on one knee behind her and took out the ring. When she turned around she was very surprised. She said yes. Matt introduced us, and the three of us ended up walking around the lake to take a few engagement snaps. They met up with family in the Marina. I am glad it worked out the way Matt intended, and very happy to provide them with some great images to treasure.
More images to come soon…
Miguel made this great video from the engagement shots I sent him. It was a pleasant surprise to see my work put together in a slideshow. We had a great time during the shoot, and despite the rain (or because of it), the photos came out very beautiful and unique. Miguel used the “Umbrella” song covered by John Peter West. I use John’s music on my wedding photography site, More info on John West: http://www.johnpeterwest.com/
Miguel and Audrey were a great couple to work with. With Miguel, being a serious model it was easy to get the couple relaxed for the camera. The photos reflect my general shooting style of capturing the feelings that are already there. Even though it was raining that day, we decided to go through with the shoot anyway. We were all glad we did, since the images would not be as unique without the rain. I include engagement sessions in all my weddings in order to get acquainted with the couple. Come wedding day we are all relaxed and have a great connection, which is vital for capturing breath taking images.
