Aaron invited me to be a part of his surprise proposal!! He planned a picnic with their usual Sunday work with children. In the middle of their usual routine ... he  proposed!!! The activity of the day was a craft and all the children painted letters. At the end, Aarron rearranged them to ask Nichole to marry him.  Not only that but he had a dress waiting for her to wear for their impromptu photo session with me! This post is special to me.  Aaron has been a friend for many years with many ups and downs, heartaches and deep conversations over dinner.  The joy in these photographs blows me away and more than that it is a deep privaledge to be able to share in the celebration.

Welcome to the family Nichole! You are incredible, full of life, perfect for Aaron and I was so blessed to witness how thrilled you are to marry this amazing man. I kept hearing you say, " Wow Aaron, we get to grow old together". Congratulations dear friends and thank you for letting me be a witness to this big day!

This session was 30 minutes after she said YES!! Her girlfriends had makeup, a curling iron and backup dresses just in case!  The raw emotion coming from these two was really fun to work with. I didn't have to do a thing. Happiness bubbling out everywhere!
