I do so love a good surprise!  Add to that a sweet love story and I’m done.  Danny contacted me in secret, he and his long term girlfriend were taking a vacation at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas and he planned to propose.  Enter, yours truly.

Now let me just say, surprise engagements are super fun to be a part of , but they are also super stressful.  I have to make sure I have the gear I need in order to document “the moment” while at the same time not being OBVIOUSLY a photographer.

Danny and I agreed where I would be waiting and where he would eventually pop the question.  So I got in place and waited….  keep in mind, I’d never met either of them, so I had to watch EVERY couple that walked by, just in case it was them!

Once they came into view and were headed to the spot we had agreed on, I started snapping…  and well, it was adorable!  Take a look.

She said yes! Then she spotted me 🙂
