The Proposal: Engagement photography at the Captiol

This was the real deal people! Jeffery is a very romantic guy. He wanted to surprise his girlfriend by coming down to Austin to propose to her. They both live in Denver, CO but he called me up at the beginning of the week to ask me if I could document his romantic proposal in Downtown Austin. He flew in on Friday and we went downtown together to scout out the perfect location. We decided that the Capitol grounds in Austin would be the perfect setting for his surprise. After a nice dinner and a carriage ride through the streets of Austin, they ended up a the Capitol walkway. Meanwhile, I was hiding in the bushes capturing every moment! It was very exciting and challenging at the same time. IT WAS DARK! After all the excitement had settled, I came out of hiding to surprise her with a photo shoot! We had a blast and I am so happy for Jeffery and Gyovanna. Congrats!

Happy Holidays to everyone!!! Now is a time for family, friends and love. I hope you have plenty!
