Nic contacted me a month or so ago to let me know he’d like me to take photos of him proposing to his girlfriend, Leia. He told me that Leia knew he wanted to marry her, but that she had no clue when or how he would propose.

My job was to be there to catch her reaction when he actually popped the question.

In preparation for the big event, Nic lit candles in the hall coming from the family’s garage and then scattered rose petals on the floor.

Needless to say, Leia was surprised and delighted.

I left Nic and Leia after taking the proposal photos and a few more traditional engagement photos. But then I realized I had left my purse and had to return to the home.

Much to my delight I found Leia’s family had come to celebrate with the newly engaged couple.
