The Proposal – a really romantic valentines weekend!

We were incredibly busy before Valentine’s Day. In fact we were crazy busy until the very last second. We had girlfriends and wives giving gifts to their men. We had women in the military giving “I hope this tides you over” albums.   We had a few couples’ shoots.   It was so much fun and we loved working with all of our wonderful clients.

One of the highlights for us was a marriage proposal that actually happened in our photography studio in Seattle.  Aaron contacted me about a month before their session via email wondering if he could set up a boudoir photography shoot for himself and his girlfriend, Shayla.  He was coming into town for a conference and planned to fly Shayla up for a romantic valentine’s weekend away.  As I worked with Aaron on scheduling and planning their session he told me that he had decided to propose to Shayla directly after their shoot.  Let me just say that two emails into this mission, I wanted an Aaron all my own. He was so into it, so in love and so excited.  A few emails and a few phone calls later it was on! I just had to get the entire team on the same page. Oh the stress… Don’t slip up, don’t ask the wrong question, don’t do this and don’t say that. I swear I was as nervous as Aaron. Ok, not quite but come on.

So the finishing touch in our little plan was to finish up the shoot and present Shayla with a “thank you” gift from the team which wasn’t actually from us, but contained a beautiful engagement ring that Aaron had helped design for her.   We queued a special song on Aaron’s iPod, which he sang, played instruments for and re-recorded in his mini home studio by , we all got out of the way of the video camera and each and every one of us proceeded to cry, cry and cry some more.   The specifics are a little hard to hear above the music and the crying, but the gist of what is heard is ….. Crying..  Aaron:  “So now you don’t speak …. …… ….. We are obviously sole mates …. ….. ….  I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?”  Shayla nods her head weeping.  And here you have it, the most romantic thing that has happened at Seattle Boudoir Photography thus far…
