Brendan booked what Kiana thought was just a fun couples photo session, but behind the scenes, he had a much bigger plan in motion. With a little sneaky coordination (and a whole lot of excitement), Brendan and I planned the perfect moment for him to propose—right in the middle of their shoot.
And honestly? It was pure magic from start to finish.
Planning a Surprise Proposal During a Photo Session
Brendan wanted the proposal to feel natural, relaxed, and completely unexpected for Kiana—and that’s exactly how we planned it. The session was set up as a sunrise couples photoshoot, giving us soft light, privacy, and time for genuine moments before the big question.
Kiana arrived thinking this was just a normal photo session together—laughing, cuddling, and enjoying the moment. Which is exactly why her reaction was so real, emotional, and unforgettable.
October Fog + Sunrise Light = A Photographer’s Dream
The morning of their session showed up HARD. A blanket of October fog drifted through the landscape, and as the sun came up, golden light poured through the mist in the most dreamy, cinematic way.
It was one of those mornings where everything feels calm, quiet, and perfect—ideal for a romantic engagement session. The fog softened everything, the sunrise added warmth, and Brendan and Kiana looked like they were straight out of a movie scene.
The Moment Brendan Popped the Question
Halfway through the session, I asked Brendan to walk a little behind Kiana the run in and snuggle her up- then I said one more time but this time he dropped down on one knee, and completely surprised her when she turned around. Her reaction? Total shock, happy tears, laughter, and pure joy all rolled into one.
She said YES, surrounded by glowing sunrise light and fog swirling around them—and I was there to capture every second of it. This is exactly why planning a proposal photo session is so special: you get to relive that once-in-a-lifetime moment forever.
Brendan and Kiana’s session was the perfect reminder that the best photos happen when couples are simply being themselves—especially when there’s a surprise ring involved.
A Sunrise They’ll Never Forget
Between the foggy fall morning, the golden sunrise, and the love these two share, this session was unforgettable. Brendan pulled off the surprise flawlessly, and Kiana walked away engaged, glowing, and completely in love.
Congratulations, Brendan & Kiana 🤍
Your forever just got a beautiful beginning.
