There are few things I love more than being in on a surprise! So, naturally, when Russ contacted me about photographing his surprise proposal to Caroline at Magpie Cafe in downtown Baton Rouge, I was *all in*!
We met at Magpie Cafe on Perkins Road, near LSU – where they’d had their first date. The sweet staff at the coffee shop was awesome, and reserved a table just for the two of them. I think it’s possible that they were more excited than we were!
Shortly after Caroline arrived, Russ went down on one knee–and she said yes! The rest is history. They were both over-the-moon excited, and understandably so. It’s possible that my cheeks hurt for the rest of the day, with all the grinning that I did right along with them.
As I do with all of my proposal sessions, we took some time afterwards to get some celebratory portraits. Once Caroline’s heart rate had calmed down a bit, we jetted out in front of Magpie Cafe on the sidewalk, to document this exciting time in their lives together.
I’m so thankful to have been able to be there for the first chapter of this couple’s love story!
Congratulations, you two! <3 <3
