Hilary & Taylor: An October Proposal

I could not be more honored to be apart of Hilary and Taylor's beyond cute proposal!  Hilary had already scheduled her annual "Christmas Card" photo session with me when Taylor called and told me that he wanted to propose to Hilary during our session.  Hilary kept making things complicated by changing the date of the photos more than once, but Taylor thought of everything -- having their puppy be apart of it, the sign and the cute saying on the sign, the plot to get Hilary away for a minute so that he could put the sign around Oly's neck, everything.  All I did was help make the sign (with the help of a friend ... thanks Molly!) and showed up to capture the moment.  After we took a couple of photos like normal, I asked Hilary if it would be alright I took a couple of "head shots" of her because "I've recently had an inquiry for business head shots and I don't have very many to show this potential client".  Of course she agreed so I pulled Hilary away to take her business picture (I've included it below).  Taylor and Brandon pretended to be playing with Oly when really they were getting out the sign, making sure the ring was ready to go, etc.  After a couple of minutes, Hilary and I walked around the tree to see Taylor and Oly standing there waiting for her.  Needless to say, what came next was magical.  I was so unbelievably blessed to be apart of this.  Wishing Hilary and Taylor all the best as they enjoy their engagement (they are celebrating in Thailand right now!) and while they plan their wedding.  What a special time in their lives! photocrati gallery
