Courtney & Noah : Proposal

Monday, February 22, 2010 Posted in Engagement

One of the favorite parts of my job is capturing genuine moments in life. This past Saturday I got to do just that. It was simply beautiful.

On my drive over to Great Falls Park in Virginia I was full of mixed emotions. I was nervous for Noah, nervous for myself that I could totally mess up and miss the whole proposal, praising God for the beautiful weather and thinking this is going to be one the best days for Courtney and Noah, smiling thinking about the day when I proposed to my beautiful wife, thinking how this day is an answer to so many prayers for Courtney and Noah’s family and friends etc..

I love Courtney’s reaction after the proposal and loved capturing their interaction with each other afterward. So genuine.

This is one of the first shots I took and I was thinking, “Oh no! She already spotted me and I just blew it!” I quickly pointed the camera the other way pretending to shoot something else and walked away. Later Courtney said after she saw me she was making fun of me saying, “Why is that dude pointing the camera this way when the falls are behind him?”Haha! Whew:)

Congratulations guys! So happy for you!
