A Newport Beach Proposal

Posted on January 6, 2010 | Posted in: Engagement, Weddings

I really feel lucky and blessed to shoot photos of people for a living. It is so fun being a part of all these special times in different people’s lives. Shooting proposals is one of the most special times for me. There is so much emotion, surprise, romance, love and celebration. A good friend of mine proposed a couple days ago and I got to capture it.

Justin took Erica out for a nice dinner at the Cannery then commandeered a boat. They cruised around the Newport Bay for a bit then as they were almost back, he slowed the boat, got on a knee and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him as his wife. The restaurant in the background erupted with cheers from the diners. There were hugs, kisses and tears. Then Justin had all their friends and family waiting back up at the Cannery to celebrate. So special.

For you photographers out there, it was obviously dark and I shot these at 4000 ISO. Crazy what cameras can do now. Here are a couple shots from all that:
