I love a good surprise proposal! When Brad recently asked me to photograph him popping the question to his girl Allison, I was ALL in!
For proposal sessions, I always meet with my clients beforehand to discuss details, and come up with a plan. This makes an already-nerve-wracking event go a little bit more smoothly for the anxious groom-to-be!
Our cover story was drinks and dinner at the beautiful Houma’s House Plantation in Darrow, Louisiana. Brad took Allison on a little detour through the gardens just after arriving, to go down on one knee. Although there was heavy rain in the forecast ALL day, the worst of it held off for the big moment (although poor Brad did get a little damp, kneeling on the concrete!) and we were able to get some fun rainy day portraits to celebrate the moment. Allison’s reaction was one of the funniest I’ve ever seen – that girl’s got some lungs, and was not at all shy about letting anyone within hearing distance know how excited she was to say yes!
(Spoiler alert: my girl Allison said some swear words. I love me a good swear word.)
Here are a few of my favorite images at Houma’s House from this epic milestone in the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs.’s story!
