Engagement 21-40
Engagement photos are awesome. Simple statement, right? But, they really are. It's not every day you schedule a photo shoot with the one you love. We should probably do it more often. I met these two for a sunset engagement session in Sedona at Bell Rock.
I love photographing marriage proposals! It’s a magical, crazy moment. Nathan and Amelia planned a sunrise start to their day with plenty of hiking on the agenda. I arrived at Bell Rock in Sedona about 15 minutes before they arrived and walked up on the red rocks to a spot where I could see them coming.
Should you have an engagement session? I’d say “yes!” How often do you intentionally schedule a portrait session with the one you love to create long lasting memories? If you’re like most people, not often. It’s really worth it.
I love shooting photos in northern Arizona. One super iconic spot is Horseshoe Bend. Witnessing someone propose to their partner on the cliffs high of the Colorado River is pure magic. It’s a privilege to document these kinds of life changing events. I always just fold into the moment. The emotion is so strong!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it many times more, proposing at the Grand Canyon is always pretty epic. And I’m not using that word lightly. Asking someone to marry you is a pretty big deal. But when you propose at the edge of the Canyon the moment sure does seem to take on even more importance.
Lynsey and John’s Sedona engagement session was scheduled for the day before Valentine’s day. We planned for a sunset session up on the the red rocks at Yavapai Overlook. But the weather wasn’t going to cooperate. Rain, thunder and lightning moved in and it just wasn’t going to work out. So we rescheduled to the next day and planned to meet before the sun came up so they could catch their plane back to New Jersey later that evening. This is one of those times when everything worked out despite a few obstacles.
Where should you propose to your favorite person of all time? Where do you ask someone to marry you? It’s a personal decision. Where ever you decide to propose, one option is to have a photographer on hand to document the momentous occasion.
Seva surprised Apoorva and proposed to her as the sun rose just above the rim of the Grand Canyon on a brisk morning about a week before Christmas. Not a bad way to ask your soulmate to get married!
