I’ll never forget when I first read Justin’s email telling me of his plans to propose to his girlfriend Paige, and asking if I could photograph it. I was blown away by the romance and the details he had put into this plan. The setting, the cliff walk in Newport, overlooking the ocean. However not in any ‘regular’ spot like 40 steps, no that wouldn’t do. He chose a spot that I had actually never been to and it turned out to be perfection.
I met with Justin a few weeks prior to go over the location and the plan. Where I would be, where he would be and of course where Paige would be. Then the day came, except it rained so we had to reschedule for the following week. The anticipation was killing me, never mind what he was feeling. So the following week the weather looked good and the plan was a go. I arrived as some of their friends were setting everything up after carrying everything a good half mile to THE spot. Then I waited. In the bushes as hidden as I could be until the two came walking through the tunnel under the Chinese Teahouse. As soon as they appeared Justin got down on one knee and popped the question. Paige was beyond surprised and her reaction was amazing and priceless. There was even a crowd that had gathered above waiting to see. She said “yes” the champagne was popped and the two dined at a romantic table for two. I took a few more photos and then I was off. It was an honor to share and capture that moment forever. Justin and Paige I wish you both a lifetime of happiness as you embark on this next chapter together.
