R+S a calgary proposal!

I always get really excited when I get a proposal request. It’s probably the ultimate adrenaline rush for a scaredy cat like me. I won’t sky dive or bungee jump, but I will hide in a bush or behind a wall with my heart thumping out of my chest, aiming for the perfect images of a once in a lifetime moment. There are no do-overs, and the rush is intense! R contacted me and detailed a very elaborate plan for his girlfriend. She owns an AirB&B management company and he booked an appointment with her under a different name, under the guise of having her check out the property for potential management. It was a fantastic idea and when I arrived, the care and thought he had put into the room took my breath away. I loved how nervous he was… I don’t think I’ve experienced what someone goes through when asking the person they love to marry them. It was exhilarating! My glasses kept fogging from my own stress and from the emotion that filled the room when she entered. He just knows her. God, he KNOWS her. It was perfect and they laughed and they hugged and it was beautiful. Of course she said yes. And of course, she had to make sense of what was actually happening, considering she thought she was meeting a potential client. He thought of everything, and I could not resist getting some lysol wipes in the picture as this is love in the time of Covid.

I have done quite a few proposal shoots over the years and let me tell you, it never ever feels any less nerve-wracking. I think it’s because aside from the normal worry of getting the exact shots I need without being detected, I’m also just super nervous for the ‘proposer’. It’s a fantastic adrenaline rush though, maybe that’s why I’ll never bungee jump or skydive. Hardeep contacted me and the date was set. He had family members set everything up, so she had absolutely no idea. My heart was beating so fast, as I imagine Hardeep’s was too. It went perfectly though and I am so excited for this beautiful couple!
