One of my oldest & dearest friends from high school emailed me months back to photograph a super secret operation. I've known Alec since 2002, and I've known Ally since 2005. They started dating in high school & it's been so fun to watch them grow as a couple and experience all of the pangs of growing up, side-by-side. So when Alec emailed me to ask if I would photograph his proposal to Ally, I couldn't help but jump at the opportunity. 

I'll say this much--for anyone that's popping the question, I don't envy your situation at all. I was all nerves, so I can only imagine how Alec felt! The energy throughout the afternoon was so high and exciting, and Alec pulled off his proposal flawlessly. Ally comes from a large family, so he coordinated with them so that they would be part of their special moment. It was so wonderful to see generations of cousins and siblings gathered together to help celebrate such a wonderful moment.
