A couple of weeks ago I had the awesome pleasure of being a part of a new beginning for one couple and revisiting with another.

John told me about his plans to propose to Paige at the spot of their first date, a Loews Theatre and I was excited to be asked to document everything.

Now of course a guy hanging around the front of a movie theatre with camera equipment may raise some flags, so I recruited my friends James and Chevonte (whose wedding I'll be photographing next month) to be my decoy subjects and serve as some misdirection for Paige. While waiting for John and Paige to arrive, we chit chat, joked around, talked about the wedding....and made a few images. ;)

Now here are some images from the main event. While I could hear what was being said, I could tell John's tone started to change and Paige covered her face. I was told later she said "No, John, not here." Ha! (she was like this for about 5 minutes)

After the initial shock/surprise wore off, we then proceeded to take a few engagement photos and here are a handful....

I just had to make a small cameo. ;)

Congratulations to both couples! Chevonte and James will be making at least one more appearance on the blog after I photograph their wedding in April!
