When a friend’s boyfriend messages you for help with proposing, the answer is always yes! Not only did I get to be a part of such a big event in my friends’ lives, but I also got to use it as an excuse to finally purchase a new camera (full frame + mirrorless = HUGE upgrade!). I’ve photographed a proposal before using my old camera but its been several years and my old camera was getting slower and slower, I didn’t want to risk missing the big moment! Plus, the new camera served as a great excuse to plan a photoshoot so I could “try” it out and get the couple in the perfect spot to recreate this picture of the couple below (not my photo) that was the inspiration for where the proposal took place.

So thankful that everything came together perfectly and we were able to recreate that picture while the proposal was happening. Lots of fun and exploring Fort Monroe followed, take a look!

Just a little dance break
