Surprise Proposal and Engagement Session all in one:


A few weeks before the big day, Zane reached out with one clear goal: “I want to propose in Stephenville.” Finding the perfect public field in Texas is already tough. Finding one in Stephenville is even rarer. After countless texts, phone calls, and searching, we finally found the ideal spot. I’m so grateful for my amazing family friends who were more than happy to help make it happen.


Once we locked in the location, we carefully planned every detail—where to park, where to stand, and how to keep everything seamless. On the day of the proposal, everything unfolded beautifully. I hid behind the trees and captured the sweetest surprise proposal. The wind was gently blowing, the air was so quiet, and everything felt still.


After he proposed, I walked up to find them both in tears—it was such a pure, emotional moment. I gave them time to sit on the blanket and soak it all in while I quietly photographed from the background. Then we transitioned into a full engagement session, capturing their joy before sending them off to celebrate.


As a Stephenville photographer, I will forever be grateful to stand in the background of people’s biggest moments. Especially when a surprise proposal and engagement session come together in one unforgettable day.
