Talk about being at the right spot at the right time to capture this surprise proposal. I have always been jealous of photographers who happen to catch random moments like this. Well, it happened to me this past weekend, and I can not even begin to tell you how nervous I was.

I was in Midland because I wanted to shoot a session for my daughter, and we were waiting for her boyfriend to get to the location. When I heard someone asking a question about my photography, I turned around, and the dad asked if I could capture the proposal that was about to take place.

My heart started racing immediately. This is such a huge moment. A hundred questions ran through my mind: What are my camera settings? Where will they be? Will I miss the moment? What if the lighting is not good?

There they are. I see the couple walking straight towards me. Goodness, I am nervous, and I probably had quilt written all over my face. We pass each other on the sidewalk and I take a few steps forward and as I turn around I see Sebastian getting on one knee. This is it!!!! This is the moment!

As soon as I pulled the camera to my face and started snapping pictures, I knew exactly what to do! The nervous feelings and questions all disappeared. I loved every single minute of it!

Congratulations, Hailea and Sebastian, wishing you the best. Enjoy your upcoming days of planning and soaking it all in.

Thank you to the dad for being bold and asking me to take photos of this surprise proposal; what an honor.
