The future Mr. and Mrs. D E L E O N 🩵💍

This was by far the sweetest proposal I’ve ever been a part of!! Marcos and I chatted on the phone about ways we could make the proposal a surprise for Caroline while also being able to fully capture the moment. We decided that I would reach out to her on Instagram and offer her a “free styled couples session”. It just so happens that I was already taking senior pictures for one of her friends so I was able to say that she was recommended to me for a styled couples session. She thankfully agreed and we moved forward with our plan!! We started the session off by taking some couples pictures so she wouldn’t be suspicious. After that we brought her to THE SPOT and I did some solo shots of her with her back to me. Cue Marcos!! This was by far one of the most special moments I’ve had the privilege to be a part of and I am so happy for these two!! 🩷
