Got to do a wee bit of (way) off Broadway acting this weekend to document this proposal.
Proposals I’ve shot in the past have all been at public spots where it would be pretty normal to see a photographer.
But in this case Adam had a lovely private tasting area reserved at . The quandary was that the spot sits upon a plateau in an open field overlooking the Columbia River Gorge with a short uphill hike to get there & a random guy wandering up there taking photos would stand out like a sore thumb.
So I proposed (pun intended… sorry) to Adam that I pose as someone working at the winery. I loaded a picnicky looking tote with my cameras & the kind folks at Syncline obliged & had me deliver their bottle of sparkling to Adam & Emily. I dropped off the bottle, then asked if I could “snap a few photos of you two for our socials” & after doing so, Adam took it from there.
Emily said “yes”, we took more portraits & I shall be awaiting calls from casting agents.
Congratulations, Emily & Adam!
