Erik & Sherrie’s Cessna “Emergency Landing” Airport Runway Proposal
I think Erik wins the award for the most meticulously-planned and perfectly-executed proposal we’ve ever seen. There were just so many moving pieces: the friends who brought Sherrie along for the airplane ride, the airport where they landed, Sherrie’s boss who was in on the plan all along, and even yours truly, the photographers. Erik quietly worked it all out, rehearsing the flight path a few times and juggling multiple unplanned schedule changes, and the result was the sweetest and most perfect proposal. To be honest, we really didn’t know what to expect out of an “emergency landing” airport runway proposal, but Erik knocked this one out of the park! [ read more … ]

MacLane & Amy’s Land’s End Labyrinth Surprise Proposal
MacLane and Amy went for a bit of a walk last week, ending at the Land’s End Labyrinth where he had a little surprise for her… in the form of a beautiful and very unique engagement ring! Amy had a tiiiiny bit a suspicion that something was up, since she noticed he wore nicer shoes than usual (nothing escapes the attentive girlfriend!), but one of her first reactions was regretting that she didn’t wear something cuter for the occasion; on the contrary, I thought she chose just the right outfit for this day 🙂 [ read more … ]
