Usually I photograph couples that are actually engaged – rarely do I have the opportunity to photograph the actual engagement!

I was shooting with Mackenzie + Justin and as we were walking to another location, I turned around and saw a man down on bended knee! I remember his fiancee saying, “Oh! I wasn’t expecting this!” and then I immediately whipped my camera up to my face and started snapping away furiously. I couldn’t help it! I am such a sap and was actually very excited to be able to capture the moment for this couple!

Of course afterwards, I gave the couple my card and asked if I could post the photos on my blog. Thank you, Liz and John – and congratulations!

These first few images were captured RIGHT as it happened!

Aw, doesn’t she look THRILLED?

Then of course I made them pose for a few quick moments. I swear, I don’t know what takes over me!
