Loyola Surprise Proposal Photography – TJ and Carol
Engagement, Love, Stories Documented //
As we made our way to meet TJ to plan out his Loyola Surprise Proposal, I was talking to my best friend Megan on the phone. I told her we were on our way to meet a groom who would be proposing to his girlfriend later in the week and she pretty much jumped up and down with excitement! I could feel her excitement through the phone and in that moment I pinched myself. Yes, the words that I shared did just come out of my mouth and we are definitely blessed to be able to do what we do! ;)
We met with TJ earlier in the week to make the final plans for his proposal to his beautiful girlfriend, Carol. They met at Loyola University where they lived in the same hall as First Year students. Their friendship blossomed into love a few years later and here they were just days away from being engaged! TJ had this whole plan to get Carol up to Loyola before their “dinner with a few friends” in Baltimore. (We are always so fascinated with how the guys seem to trick the ladies into something crazy on the day of their proposals! (Like, how in the world did I let Ryan blindfold me and not have any clue he was going to propose?!?! ;) lol!)) Anyway… TJ had it all planned out and we couldn’t wait to be there to capture the magic of the proposal before they made their way to “dinner with a few friends” that was actually a little party to celebrate with 40 of their closest family and friends!
Friday arrived and even though the forecast earlier in the week said it was going to be PERFECT… it poured pretty much all day. As we started to get nervous, (ok, I started to get nervous and Ryan just got more and more calm because that’s how it typically happens! ;) ) a clear spot opened up on the radar just in time for TJ to do his thing! I found my spot on the porch of the gorgeous Humanities Building at Loyola. As they turned the corner, I realized my heart was racing probably just as much as TJ’s! ;) What a magical moment!!! There is something so incredibly AMAZING about being there to witness this special special moment that TJ and Carol will always cherish with their hearts! We are so grateful for the opportunity to capture it and provide them with the visuals to never forget any of the details from that special evening!!
TJ and Carol… CONGRATULATIONS!!! We could not be more excited for you!!! TJ- thank you for reaching out to us and being such an incredible man that you are to even think of how special it would be to have this moment captured!! What a special gift for Carol!! You two are the sweetest and we are so grateful you have been brought into our lives!! Enjoy every moment of your engagement and every time you say fiancee, we hope you glow as much as you did on this night at Loyola! ;)
