Surprise Proposal!! {Southern Maine Photographer}

I got a call in September asking me to secretly photograph a proposal for an out-of-state client! THRILLED....YOU BET!!!

I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to be sneaky and then decided that if I brought my family down there and was taking photos and picking shells from the shore, she'd never suspect us thinking we'd fit right in AND we did! There were a few women right next to us and they started chatting about how John was on his knee and they said to hubs "she (me) doesn't even see what's going on over there near the rocks". Jean responded to them telling them that he hired me to photograph this special event and she (the bride to be) had no idea I was doing such a thing. He gave them to her as her Christmas gift!

You have to know that John is a hero to most women I share this story with! I told him so, more than once, and I had to mention that now his Christmas gifts were going to have to be BIG to top this!

A few days after Christmas I got this email from John.


Dear Kelly
Thank you so much for helping me surprise becky. She was blown away by her gift and she called me a SOB, and thats how i know she was truly surprised. Becky was really happy with all the pictures. so thanks again
sincerely
John

I had to hold onto this story and these photos until after the holidays even though John and Becky are not locals, I just couldn't take the chance.

Enjoy!
