Proposal : Ross & Lauren : Fort Worth Water Gardens

Lauren said yes! 

I could not be happier for these two lovebirds. I've known Lauren since college, taught her how to swing dance, and while she has always been a bubbly soul, I've never seen her happier than she has been since Ross came into her life. 

A week before their third anniversary dating, Ross emailed me to as me if I would be there to photograph him proposing to Lauren. I screamed! Of course! I was so excited! Apparently he had the whole thing planned out and besides the parents, I was the only other person who knew what was going to happen. Lauren had no idea!

I arrived early, scoped out my secret-hide-out-in-the-open spot, donned my sunglasses and ballcap (I never wear these two things...) and waited patiently. As soon as Ross was in position, I called his cell to give him the OK and he dropped his knee! Woohoo! Ohmygoodness I was shaking with excitement! The backdrop couldn't have been prettier either. 

Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs. McGarrah!

 Ross was trying to nonchalantly look for me....

You're in a good spot, Ross, you can ask whenever you're ready! *this is when I called his phone.

 *swoon!*

 And this is when Lauren realized it was Me! So surprised.

Beautiful! 

Proposal Session : Michael & Rosy

Michael and Rosy, you two are picture perfect! 

On Friday afternoon, the day before Michael was going to ask his girlfriend of 2 years, Rosy, to marry him, he gave me a call to come out and photograph the moment. "She's always getting on me for not taking photos of us together!" he said to me over the phone. "Well," I replied, "you almost forgot!" Haha!

I arrived early at the Fort Worth Water Gardens to "blend into the crowd" and it was easy to spot these two as they walked in to the gardens. They glowed with such happiness!

Michael and I met in college and he is such a generous and genuine person. Rosy, who I first met that night, is a lucky lady to have found Michael (though I think Michael is the luckier one to have Rosy!). She has such a beautiful energy about her too - these two are destined for each other.

I wish the two of you the best of luck on your future together!
