"She Said Yes!"One of the best things about this profession is recording memories when people are happy, and seeing them at their best. Few acts can be so risky, yet so rewarding as the proposal. Add to that, contracting with a photographer to surreptitiously record the event. This was the scenario that was put in motion when Dylan contacted me to photograph his proposal to his girl friend, Kimmy. Dylan and Kimmy live in the Washington D.C. area and she loves the Maine coast. They had planned to escape the Washington D.C. scene during the 4th of July event and masses of people, by coming to Portland, Maine for a few days. The only question seemed to be whether to pop the question at Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth or at Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse in South Portland. 11:00, the morning of the 3rd of July, found me sitting next to the steps leading to the breakwater at Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse. Dylan had sent me a text earlier, describing what they would be wearing, and I was doing my best to look like a tourist with a camera. It must have worked, for when they passed me and started on the breakwater, Kimmy did not suspect a thing. Dylan stopped about half way to the lighthouse, and I had to chuckle. Kimmy was so busy texting and sending photos of the lighthouse that she was not aware something special was about to happen. Dylan dropped to one knee, and now had Kimmy's entire attention. I was too far away to hear what was being said, but when he produced the ring you could see the happiness on her face. I did not need to hear, to know that "She Said Yes!!!"
