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!

fabulous work, fav is the almost silhouette in fromt of the Capitol
Nicely done, Ben! I love the light in the trees and in the city portraits at the bottom with the capitol in the background. Your work is amazing.
This sounds so ridiculous on paper, but the photos are so amazing. Great idea, and great work. Should I assume that you were shooting with some insane long lens. I would have been scared to death of cops.
Paparazzi-wedding-photography:) love the idea. love the execution. great work, Ben.
That silhouette shot of him on one knee should be framed and hung above their firplace!
It’s not often that these moments get captured. Great job!
Beautiful work!
The second photo is totally my favorite, but in general these types of shoots are just fabulous. Tons of emotion, extra surprise…it’s really fun. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! I love the dreaminess of these images. Bravo!!
