After a long Friday at work, she was more than ready to go home.  A text from Kyle let her know that the night might be longer than she anticipated. “My car is broken down…can you come pick me up?” It was on her way home from work anyway, so she figured it would be no biggie. She quickly replied and headed to where he was waiting.

When she arrived at the parking lot of the place they had their first date, he was already walking towards her car with his bag in hand. He hopped in, eagerly, but she was still none-the-wiser. Before she was able to put her hands on the wheel, he reached over to stop her from driving. ”This is the place where I met the girl of my dreams, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me, Dana?”

Oh, as Dana was telling me the story I was just overwhelmed with joy and happiness for both of them. Every couple’s proposal story is different and uniquely beautiful. Dana knew that a proposal was coming. She kept wondering if it was around this corner or that, whenever they were doing something special. The absolute most romantic thing Kyle could have done was to completely blindside her and get her when she was least expecting it. Boy, was she surprised!

I’ve known Dana for a few years now, and Kyle for the past 8 months or so, and I have enjoyed seeing them grow as individuals and as a couple. I am so incredibly happy for them and completely humbled that they’ve given me the honor of capturing their wedding day. We had an absolute blast on the engagement shoot, and I was lucky to have my amazing hubby along as an assistant. Dana and Kyle were both such troopers in the hot weather, and I hope these photographs are a great payoff for them! Enjoy.

Oh, when they told me they brought props, I jumped up and down and squealed, “Yay!” Hehehe….even cooler, they wanted to show off their “favorite things”–photography for Dana, and baseball (specifically the Red Sox–go New England!) for Kyle.
