Proposals are one of favorite things to photograph- they are both challenging (in a good way!), exciting, and incredibly rewarding. The rain held off on Saturday when I headed to Canton to capture Brandon's surprise proposal to Julia at Gervasi Vineyard. Julia was taken completely by surprise- she knew about Brandon's plans for a day of wine tasting, but not that it would end in him popping the question! I arrived early to the vineyard with my assistant Gina, who I pretended to be shooting senior portraits for. Brandon led Julia to the archway next to the lake, got down on one knee, and Julia's reaction was priceless as she said yes. From there, we celebrated with a quick portrait session around the gorgeous grounds of the vineyard before Julia and Brandon headed off to a celebratory dinner. Congratulations to these two on their engagement!
