Oliverio and Alma’s Proposal 💍 🤍 07-30-2023 🤍
So happy for this lovely couple and their new life chapter! Oliverio had reached out to me a few months back in need of my services to plan out and document his proposal for Alma. We hopped on a zoom call and after hearing their love story and his vision, we started planning out everything. By everything I mean setting up the date, location, time (beginning to end), music playlist, color recommendations for outfits and cues for when the propose is about to happen and when the whole family could start walking our direction to surprise Alma.
Originally Oliverio had no idea how he was going to propose he just knew where and when he was going too. He wanted it to take place at Coleman Park because that’s where he originally asked Alma to be his girlfriend. After hearing more about their love story I then started brainstorming different ways he could propose to her. We settled on having a ‘couples session’ and towards the end have their ‘song’ play out loud at a specific time and place for him to get down on one knee. I could see and sense the nerves leading up to that moment so I made the session as fun and uplifting as possible. Once we finally reached to the proposal, it was very heartwarming to witness and document it all. Lots of emotions occuring all in a matter of seconds until she finally nods and says yes.
The amount of planning and communication that goes on before, during and behind the scenes is insane and matters so much. I’m not one to get stressed out when I’m out photographing, however when it’s a proposal you only get one shot, literally, so everything has to go right! This is my second proposal to ever document and I truly loved the overall experience. It makes me so happy to know that I was able to be a part of somebody’s life by helping them organize and document a very special time in their lives. Wishing you all the best and a lifetime of happiness 🫶🏽
