To put this proposing man's level of commitment into prospective, he said “rain or shine”, and as it turned out Central Park got a half a years rainfall for him, in one afternoon!


It was sooo sweet, I was actually was crying by the the time he pointed us out to her. When we got back to the car my long black cashmere coat was soggy and dripping with water, it weighed about 35 lbs when I laid it in the trunk!


It was a total blast though!

I've been wondering how he talked her into taking a walk in a downpour!

Shay,
When I grow up I want to be like you.
Those shots are fantastic! Very inspiring. I'm praying for rain and getting my goloshes out.

Thanks for sharing.

Good gosh!
1. that you to stayed out in the rain waiting
2. that he managed to get her there
3. that he actually proposed on one knee

all of these things are almost as amazing as the photos!!! These are stupendous!

Breathtaking Shay, what an incredible thing to do. Nice work! Just awesome!

Let me join the chorus: this is excellent work. They'd be crazy now if they don't book you for the wedding.

Thank's everybody! Glad you are enjoying them

This series of photos is simply fantastic. I can't wipe the smile from my face. The whole world should get to see these!

OMG you're so beyond good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You had me going by the 2nd shot........tears started welling, party because the shots are so incredibly beautiful and partly because I'm such a romantic!!! These are amazing Shay, and you just reminded me why I love photography so much!

Just spectacular. Amazing. Gorgeous!!

These made me a little teary-eyed too. What an emotional set.

Shay, these are absolutely great! I do also like the way you processed them, just amazing.

I think he installed one of those overhead sprinkler systems and turns it on to get the shot.

How wonderful! I love the moment and the atmosphere... Amazing work!

Thanks for sharing your work. I didn't know you could do that in the rain.

WOW. Each one is beautiful, and the set and story s amazing. Thanks for sharing these with us.
