Shannon and Orion's Ninja Engagement

I was recently asked to photograph the proposal of and engagement party for two friends, Shannon and Orion. The whole evening was top secret...well, to Shannon at least. The groom to be, Orion, planned the details so meticulously to make sure everything went off without a hitch. The pleasure he got out of happily surprising his beautiful bride to be was the sweetest thing and I think you'll be able to see both his sincere pleasure and her sheer delight and appreciation in the photographs.

This was so much fun and an honor of which to be a part. I am always so flattered when friends ask me to photograph important and intimate moments in their lives. To hear their sweet story (and pick up on some Ninja surprise tactics) from the words of Orion, check out The Ultimate Proposal Contest they've entered. Give them a vote if you like the story! The premise was that I was photographing a local restaurant for an online 'things to do in Austin' feature and it just so happened that it was at the very restaurant in which they were dining that night...
