A. & N. | Surprise Proposal Photo Session at Seattle's Gas Works Park, Lake Union
A. and N. planned a trip to Seattle to explore the city. They live in Texas, so our green state seemed far and exotic to them.
Their trip coincided with the anniversary of their relationship, and A. wanted to propose during it. That's why he contacted me—to help him choose a beautiful spot for this memorable occasion and to capture the moment.
I suggested several locations based on his preferences, and he ultimately chose Gas Works Park on the north shore of Lake Union. Additionally, I recommended a vendor who specializes in picnics, and he decided to work with them.
There was only a day to plan. He called me right after landing in Seattle (he and his girlfriend were on different flights from different cities, so this was the only time they weren't together, allowing him to discuss details calmly).
I arrived 15 minutes before them at the shooting location, waiting a little distance away. I was a little nervous when it started raining. Fortunately, the rain stopped when they arrived, and the sun came out as well.
She said: “Yes!”
MEET YOUR ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT & COUPLE SESSION PHOTOGRAPHER
My style is called “candid photography.” The idea is to preserve moments as they were, not as we wish they looked.
Before we speak, I ask you to fill out the contact form. It helps me better understand what you want to get from your elopement. Knowing precisely what you want, I can offer you the best locations, activities, and vendors. Don’t worry if you don’t have a concept for your event. Together we’ll find the best solution. What I really won’t do is force you to accept something that I suggested. This is your day, and I just help you to turn your thoughts, ideas, and dreams into reality.
Friendship is not something you can buy, but here you will get a real friend. Yes, I’ll be pretty much invisible during the elopement, but as with any intimate event, the elopement goes better when you are surrounded by people you trust. I’ll try to become that kind of person for your couple. I’ll help you to spend this day in a relaxed atmosphere. One of the most popular reasons why people choose to elope is the desire to spend the wedding day without haste and fuss. Your elopement will be adventurous but stress-free! I'll be your rock, your shoulder to lean on.
Finally, when we discuss all the details, and you choose everything from location and date to clothes and champagne, I’ll get my camera. At that moment, my purpose will be to capture your real feelings and emotions. I’m not going to tell you what to do and how to pose. Our common goal is to save these brilliant moments of your love story, not to do posed photography.
