Capturing Love: A Surprise Engagement Shoot by the Ocean

I had the incredible opportunity to photograph the cutest surprise engagement, and it was an experience I'll never forget. As I sat in the grass, pretending to read but really just anxiously flipping through pages, my heart pounded with anticipation. Then, in a moment that seemed to freeze time, I witnessed a beautiful proposal by the ocean.

The love between Yolanda and Zoe was palpable, and being trusted to capture that moment was an honour I hold dear to my heart. From the nervous excitement to the overwhelming joy, every emotion was beautifully expressed as they took the next step in their journey together.

I still get emotional looking at the photos from that day. The love story these two share is truly remarkable, and I feel privileged to have been able to witness this important part of it. From the sweet smiles to the tender embraces, each image tells a story of love, connection, and commitment.

The sky provided a breathtaking backdrop for the shoot, with hues of pink and blue painting the horizon. It was a bit smoky out, but the gradient pink-to-blue sky was nothing short of magical. And seeing one of these photos printed on their wedding save the date brought tears to my eyes—it was a reminder of the love and joy that surrounded that day.

Yolanda and Zoe, you two melt my heart. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your love story and for trusting me to capture these precious moments. Congratulations on your engagement, and may your love continue to grow stronger with each passing day.
