Brandon & Kelsey // Surprise Proposal 12.26.2012

Brandon, a Navy SEAL, arrived on a military transport from VA to see his longtime girlfriend Kelsey and surprise her with a lifelong proposal.

I've never met the two so I had to identify them from afar using iphone shots Brandon sent me. Luckily, his transport was a late arrival so the heavily populated beach started to dissipate making it easier to locate them as they approached.

The downside of it being late was the sun had already set 15 minutes earlier so I had to keep the ISO bumped. They enjoyed the set I showed them but here are just a few from the mini session. C&C welcome.

I haven't tried all of them in B&W but I have many more(not posted) in B&W.

I love these! I even like the grain in the first ones.

That sounds fun. You probably didn't expect to be contacted by a SEAL because he needed help with a clandestine mission Nice shoot.

Thanks.
Funny thing was I started shooting another couple that looked like it could've been them but the clothing he said he was going to wear didn't match that couple.
So, I stopped shooting and planned on letting him know that if it was them, it would've been his fault because he's gotta know how important viable intel has to be lol.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Good job. Love the vintage feeling on the beach too. The time of day and setting fits it, otherwise, I don't care for it much.
