The Proposal





A beautiful, rainy day ... a deceptive day ... a special day ...

I had the pleasure of witnessing a very romantic, thoughtful, and creative proposal. My couple flew in from Atlanta to Baton Rouge for the Thanksgiving holiday. I was in New Orleans visiting with my in-laws and convinced Justin to drive to New Orleans to take photos for his 'Christmas' card! The day started out beautifully, but as soon as they drove up the rain started. My wife and my monsters were nearby at Cafe DuMonde so we decided to wait out the rain. About an hour later we started our stroll through Jackson Square and finally to the Omni where the actual surprise took place. I have photographed proposals in the past, but this one seemed truly special (side note - fellas, please do not propose at someone else's wedding - that's disrespectful to the bride on her day!). This was a family affair - his sister, Ebonis, and parents were there hiding in the wings. He and I both were in constant contact with Ebonis during the entire event!
