I have been a pro photographer in the wedding industry since 2004 and always love getting calls for unique photography sessions. This featured event is at the top of that list because Josh called and said he wanted to plan a surprise proposal at the peak of Hanging Rock State Park here in North Carolina.
The groom to be and I talked through the planning and logistics of this big life event and everything went perfectly to plan. We figured out the ideal date and time for the session and the biggest factor was I needed to be in place before they got up to the top of mountain to ensure the secret surprise was a success.
He hiked up the Hanging Rock trail with his fiancé and along with two other family members and their two dogs. It was a "typical" weekend hike to a place they had not been before and I had been up to the top a few times in years past and gave him some pointers and lay of the land so the images would turn out the best way possible.
I got a text from Sarah's sister when they parked the car and began walking up the trail to ensure I was in position and took shelter on the other side of the peak so they did not see me until the moment he proposed. I then swept in for the shots and was such a fun experience for everyone there!
Once Josh and Sarah had their special time together, I formally introduced myself because I had not even had a chance to meet them before and provided some additional fun posed and candid images while we were at the peak of the mountain. We then walked back down to the parking lot and shot at a few cool spots along the way for additional photo opportunities.
Congrats to Josh and Sarah on their engagement and wedding planning process. Are you recently engaged or know someone that is planning a wedding for 2023 and even into 2024?
