I photographed this surprise proposal at a distance at Rivergate City Park along the Alexandria Waterfront! With some detailed planning I coordinated the exact spot for the proposal with the best background to setup for the magical moment! Cole proposed to his girlfriend on an early morning walk. Morning is a great time for a proposal as it’s ideal for light and you can avoid lots of people out. During the summer morning is also ideal to avoid the heat!

When photographing a surprise proposal I love to capture the full moment including everything that followers such as any reactions (hugs, tears) and the ring being place upon the finger for the first time! Within 24 hours I sent the couples images so they can share with friends and family right away!
