Yesterday evening I shot another Surprise Proposal/Engagement shoot. The guy contacted me (girl has no idea) and I "met" the couple at the Brooklyn Bridge Park. I follow around sneakily and then catch him popping the question! Afterwards, I am "revealed" and we took some posed shots.
I have only just begun editing the shots, but here are a few good ones so far.... I will post the actual proposal pics later when I've finished editing. I had it on "paparazzi" mode during the proposal itself, so there are LOADS of shot to pick through.
One thing that was a challenge, was the disappearing light! These shots were taken between 7:30 and 8 at night (the couple was late arriving) so the available light was leaving quickly!

Those are very sweet photos, and I like the 'sneaky' idea. You weren't noticed by the girl? I like the second picture

Thank you! For some reason, when I uploaded the shots to DPC, the saturation suffered.

No, she didn't notice me! I had to be quite stealthy. As the actual proposal was going on, she looked over at me, but she didn't know I was in on it till after he pointed me out.
