Tonight my husband Rob and I went to an amazing Phillies game. But towards the 8th inning, I had no fear they’d win (they were up by 7 runs) and I was getting tired. Once we decided to take the long walk back to the car, I realized we walked passed our lot. So we turn around to head back. We’re just a few feet away from the car when I witnessed a proposal in action!! As a wedding photographer and a girl, I couldn’t help but squeeze my husband’s hand letting out an “Aww!!” Then I opened my big mouth and said “Congratulations!” (Gave me flash backs to our awesome public proposal). I heard them both laughing as we continue on to our car.
Then it hits me… DUH, Kathryn!! Get your CAMERA! (Fortunately, I had it with me from a shoot I did this afternoon). Part of me felt like I was being totally intrusive, but my gut told me she’d appreciate it. With camera in hand, I ran back to the couple and offered to capture the moment and email them a copy. The girl, rubbing tears of joy from her eyes, said “I’m a mess!” I told her “You look great! Come on!” Her new fiance is all smiles as he says to me “This is her dream!” I could only assume he meant having a photog on hand to capture the moment. Talk about luck!
Not wanting to completely interuppt this intimate moment, I quickly captured two shots, gave them my card, and went on my way. It happened in the blink of an eye. I’m not even sure if I remember their names correctly, but Brian and Gina- Congratulations, again, and Best Wishes!
