Apryl & Mikey :: Proposal

There's something really special about taking pictures for a couple you've known for years, and photographing Mikey proposing to Apryl was certainly no exception to that. I met Apryl around 10 years ago in what was probably a junior high social studies class (but who really remembers junior high social studies, right?), and Mikey over 4 years ago in a photography class, so naturally I was pretty excited when Mikey asked me about shooting the proposal. I was more than happy to help out, and yesterday afternoon Mikey asked Apryl to be his wife (after spending several minutes anxiously searching for the blanket, bouquet, card, and ring that his friend DJ and I positioned apparently a little too far from the trail...whoops!). Here are some of my favorite pictures from the proposal!
