Most of my work is wedding photography where I get to be there when my clients say “I Do”…but it’s not often enough that I get to be there when he asks “Will you marry me?”…so I was very excited when, after 6 years of dating, Memo asked me to photograph this special moment when he proposed to his love, Manu.
On Friday, 2/10/12 at Tiny Boxwoods, she thought it was just another night but little did she know, Memo had some secrets up his sleeve! When they arrived, she requested a table inside because of the chilly weather and the hostess lead them to the “next available table” – the gazebo! This is where a table was all set up for just the two of them. On the table was a special ring-box cake designed and made by the chef of Tiny Boxwoods. The cake was adorned with the phrase “Will you marry me?”. As soon as she saw the cake, she knew what was happening and was immediately ecstatic and in shock! Memo brought out the ring, got on one knee, and asked her to marry him. She said yes!
In addition to the already romantic room, Memo also had a violinist from Divisi strings serenading them. They indulged in delicious appetizers for dinner and and just when Manu thought the surprise was complete, both of their families showed up to celebrate this momentous occasion!
It was such a magical evening – congratulations to the happy couple…and Happy Valentine’s Day! <3
