So my friend wanted to propose to his girlfriend. He came to me because he wanted to have her look through a series or random pictures and find one of him proposing, turn around and find him actually on his knees and proposing. I'm used to taking pictures of stationary objects and simple headshots so this was out of my norm but sounded totally fun.

So here is the picture that I got of him for the prop

It was the kind of box that had a built in light, that explains that extra lighting on the ring.

So I was "taking pictures" at the park when they "randomly" stumbled upon taking pictures of ducks. I so happened to have some pictures that I printed that I wanted to share and she saw the one of the ring. I ran to my pre-planned spot (which by the way I found wasn't good anymore because she parked herself right next to a tree and they put their belongings in my pre-planned frame.) Anyway, I made do and came up with the rest.

The only thing was that I regret her wearing those sunglasses. I never once got her eyes :o

This was a great idea. Don't see that very often. You did a great job considering the conditions you mentioned but I'm sure they are happy with them. As for the glasses, what could you do. It was a surprise.

Thanks Art! I appreciate the positive comments. Though I'm well receptive of any critiques anyone else has to offer.
