I loved being there to capture Brad propose to Taylor!! He put so much work into making this moment so special for her! When I arrive to the overlook. I was the only one there. Brad texted me and said he was close. I got out and walked around. 5 mins later a bus full of people pulled up and got out. Luckily, they were only there a short bit. When they arrived, it was crowded, but people were starting to leave.

Taylor had no idea he was going to ask her and she loved everything he did to make it special. She was also so excited to find out he had a photographer to come out and capture the moment.

After he proposed and they could relax, I took them just down the road away from everyone and got a few more posed photos for them! She was so cute with her excitement!

They both could NOT stop staring at that ring. My favorite part after a proposal is when all the secrets start to come out. He can’t wait to tell her all he has been hiding from her.
