The Story of Curtis, Melissa and Kaiden

Today was a beautiful day. A truly beautiful day. I got to photograph this adorable new family. It was a gorgeous sunny day, hardly a cloud in the sky! It wasn't too cold, the light was just right, and love was in the air...

While the baby slept, I got some photos of Curtis and Melissa.

They are too cute for words. It is very apparent how much they love each other.

One of my favorite photos...awwww....I made them kiss a lot.
But wait! Curtis had a trick up his sleeve!!! Curtis called me an hour before the shoot to tell me he planned on proposing to Melissa at the shoot!

I showed up to the orchard about 20 mins before they did. I ran around the orchard like a mad woman trying to find a nice spot for photos that was really private. I found this little patch and it turned out to be a very romantic setting.

Curtis and I had a code. When he told me "Where would you like me to stand?" that was the signal and I was to say "How about on one knee?" What followed was one of the most romantic moments I'd ever seen.

The first moment he bent down

These photos were not set up! This really is how perfect the proposal was.

Showing her the ring :) I love the look on Curtis' face in this photo.

She said yes!!!!!! You can tell in this picture she's smiling as she's kissing...awwwww (Again, this picture was not set up!)

Soaking up the moment

She was very surprised

Awwwwww This is about the part I started to tear up. I can't help it.

Yay! Mommy and Daddy are getting married!!!!

After the proposal we took some more pictures :) Kaiden however had other plans!





Mommy Loves Kaiden



Kaiden got sleepy

THE RING!

The mister! All because two people fell in love.....

A huge thank you to Curtis (and Melissa) for letting me be there to capture such a special moment. It was an absolute pleasure.
