Aw, this is so sweet. And it happened in my city, so I thought I'd share. Southern Cali-based groom-to-be, Nick, asked photographer, Laurel McConnell, to photograph his proposal to Danni while they were visiting Seattle. Nick and Danni were taking a ferry to Bainbridge Island. Laurel was on the same ferry with a girlfriend of hers, pretending to snap photos of each other. In actuality, Laura was playing paparazzi and snapping photos of the happy couple.
After the ferry landed, Laura and her friend waited for them to arrive at a predetermined park. Once Nick and Danni finally showed up, Laura's friend asked them, "hey...weren't you the guys on the ferry?" Laura told Danni that she got some cute shots of them and started flipping through the digital photos. This is what Danni saw:
Then Nick got down on one knee...
And Danni said YES. Such a cute story, yah? This seems to be a trend lately, capturing every moment of a proposal on film. I love that they'll be able to look back on these photos 20 years from now and conjure up the same giddy excitement as the day they were taken.
