what happens if rain is on the forecast on the day of your proposal or wedding? 
 
if we can reschedule, i'm happy to do that at no additional charge. but what if that isn't possible because you have other plans or have friends and family flying in?  
 
if it's a light rain, bring clear umbrellas to minimize distraction and let as much light through as possible. otherwise, we can stick to the original plan  
 
if the rain is heavier, we will have to consider an alternate location. it never hurts to start thinking about a covered location during the planning process so that you don't have to stress last minute if the forecast isn't ideal. the rain won't ruin your photos, but panic and stress will! 
 
at the end of the day, what really matters is that you've decided to live life with your best friend, so enjoy the moment and focus on each other. i'll be sure to get the shot, rain or shine(:

technically, this probably wouldn't be considered the "perfect" proposal photo, but there's something perfectly imperfect about it 
 
i wasn't hired for this and just happened to be nearby and capture it while i waiting for my couple to arrive for another proposal, so i definitely wasn't in the ideal spot. you can't see either of their faces, but i love how you can still feel all the emotion in it πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°β€‰β€‰β€‰β€‰β€‰β€‰β€‰β€‰

the oak bridge is such a scenic spot for a proposal πŸ˜β€‰
 
it's not necessarily the most private or secluded, since it is a pedestrian walkway, but i have noticed, in the times i've been there, that people seem to come and go in groups. sometimes, it's really busy, but five minutes later, it could be totally empty. definitely worth considering for a central park proposal!

the vision vs the ex*****on πŸ“·β€‰
 
while location scouting the conservatory garden for bushra and ian's wedding, i noticed this bench tucked away behind all the blooms and foliage and knew i had to get a photo of them sitting there, with the beautiful tulips in the foreground πŸŒ·β€‰
 
the compression from my new 35-150mm lens really brought the segret garden vibes to life πŸ˜β€‰
