REAL LIFE PROPOSAL SHOOT

When my good friend and INCREDIBLE photographer Stacy Childers told me she had a surprise proposal shoot on the same day as one of our magazine editorials, I started to think...  Wouldn't it be fantastic if one of our setups could actually be USED for a real life engagement?!

Stacy had a couple shoot with Tom and Luanne earlier that day on the beach. This lovely duo had been together for two and a half years and were in the midst of working for the Sharp Hospice Care Regatta, as Luanne chaired the Gala Committee. While the two lovebirds were excited to have a portrait session together, Luanne had no idea that a surprise proposal was in the works. Only a select few knew that Tom had a ring in his pocket all day. Of course one of them being Stacy, poised to get the shot!

It only seemed fitting that they ended their photo session at Loews Coronado Hotel, the site for our Ceremony Magazine photoshoot. Because the magazine shot the ceremony setup right before sunset, it was perfect timing for Tom and Luanne to step into our enchanted scene for a few more shots. What seemed like the perfect end to their photoshoot became a magical moment, when Tom dropped to one knee and asked Luanne to be his wife.

Congratulations Tom & Luanne!!! We wish you every HAPPINESS!!!
