Shock and Awww! Proposal Photos at Kraft Azalea Gardens
Part of the reason I love proposal photography is that I’m such a sucker for happy surprises. Who doesn’t love seeing the delighted amazement on someone’s face when they see that the person they love most in the world is asking them to spend the rest of their lives together?
With Jess and Matthew, I was thrilled to be able to capture such excited and joyful shock on Jess’s face, and I have to say, Matthew, pulled off an amazing surprise! Matthew is actually a photographer as well as a videographer and a VFX artist. Jess is a model and often poses for Matthew in pieces for his portfolio, so she didn’t suspect a thing when Matthew asked her to go with him to Kraft Azalea Gardens for a photoshoot, or even when he asked her to turn around for a pose. But when she turned back around and saw him in front of her on one knee, she was ecstatic! We were waiting in the wings to step in and photograph their special moment.
This beautiful Orlando couple is inspiringly artistic. In addition to Matthew’s work in photography, videography, and VFX, and Jess’s work as a model, Jess is a poet as well. The two of them just exude beautifully creative energy, so I couldn’t wait to incorporate some artistic flair into their engagement photos. I especially love the dramatic photos of the couple at the waterfront, surrounded by trees and plants that seem to embrace them as much as they embrace each other.
Of course, we have to talk about that ring too – it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love that Matthew stepped outside the box and chose a ring he clearly knew his new fiancée would adore, and it made for some tremendous engagement ring photos.
