This was a sweet proposal and very sneaky too! Tyler was very excited to propose to his girlfriend. He wanted it captured on camera, but wasn’t sure what to do. They have been to this waterfall before and thought they would have photos taken there. Tyler told her he hired me to take some photos. He thought this way she could get dressed up and know her photo was being taken.

I took a few photos of them together. I then asked to take a few of just Tyler. I had him look at me then turn around and look at the water. I then did the same for her. He wanted me to have her turn around so he could grab the ring from his brother in-law.

After he grabbed the ring from him, I told him to stand behind her and he then made the cutest pose behind her. After that, I said “You can come up and stand beside her”. He then proceeded to tell her how much he loved her and asked her to marry him!

It was a very sweet proposal. The great thing is, they had their family standing above watching the whole thing!! We then got a few photos of them with their friends and family.

Tyler did a great job pulling off this surprise. To give Erica some time to take this all in, we went to another place to finish up their photo session. I had no trouble making them smile.
