Engagement Proposal Photography – Josh and Katy in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The Date: August, 29, 2010

The Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC

The Details: I talk to my brother Josh on a daily basis. So when he sent me an instant message asking me to do him a favor I thought nothing of it. Then when he told me he wanted me to photograph him proposing to his long-time girlfriend Katy at North Myrtle Beach, I jumped up out of my office chair! We spent the next two weeks planning the whole scenario. We would all be vacationing down there together, so the day we arrived, I asked both of them if they wanted to come for a walk on the beach with me while I took photographs of the sunrise (something we have done together before). The next morning, the weather was perfect – crystal clear and the sun and sky were full of bright oranges and yellows. We made our way down the beach, and I ran ahead pretending to show interest in a flock of seagulls. At that moment, my brother got down on one knee and popped the question, as I turned to capture their life-changing moment. My parents were vacationing with us as well, so I made sure I captured their reactions on camera as well once Josh and Katy told them the exciting news :-)
