Grayson+Aubrey | Proposal

This surprise proposal was SUCH a honor to be apart of! Aubrey did a way better job of describing how this whole thing came about in her blog post (you can read it here!) than I ever could, so I’ll keep this short and sweet and just explain my side of how this all came about! Back in December Aubrey messaged me about doing a session to update her website headshots and I casually mentioned she should bring Grayson along for a few shots too. This convo sparked a coffee date after which I knew Aubrey and I would be very good friends (despite both having the memory of a gummy bear!), and even though the session date kept getting pushed back due to the weather, we kept in contact. Since the date Grayson was leaving to go on tour was quickly approaching we finally nailed down a day. I kind of figured he was planning on proposing soon so I messaged him and suggested that when he did propose I would totally be up for photographing it, to which he replied he had actually planned on messaging me about doing it during the session! We cooked up a little plan on when exactly during the session he would do it, and he and I were both playing it cool for the first 30 or so minutes of the session, even though I could tell he was ready to pop the question already! I finally asked them to turn back to back and walk a few steps away from each other and then turn around and run in for a bear hug… What Aubrey didn’t know was that when she turned around he was there on his knee <3

PS – Aubrey is one of the only people I know that would high five their new fiancee after the proposal as congratulations, and I love that about her!!
