My full story and the rest of the photos: http://rhommel.com/index.php/weddings/10-weddings/69-engagement

few weeks ago, i asked a photographer friend to ask me and sarah if we could model for him for his portfolio.. sarah agreed because she wanted some photos of us anyway.

what she didn't know is that I was going to propose to her while we're shooting... to capture everything...

    Congratulations - I wish you two the very best. With a romantic like you, how can she miss:D

    Looked through the blog/gallery - loved the way you told the story. I'm kinda surprised, though, that Sarah didn't wonder if you dropping to your knee wasn't somehow a part of the photo shoot rather than a serious proposal. I'm just glad she took you seriously!rolleyes1.gif

    It's a very good thing my girlfriend doesn't read Dgrin! I don't know when I'm going to propose, or even if it's going to be my current girlfriend, but I LOVE this idea. My cousin did something similar to this when he proposed and it went over so well! I truly understand where my romantic side comes from :D

    Can't wait till I have the chance to look through the full gallery, I'm sure it will be great!
