Hi Everyone!
Well, as you may have heard my brother is engaged! Yes, it's fantastic news and we are all really excited for him and his bride to be, Kayla Marie. I wanted to share with you some photos of this "Proposal Session", at the beginning of it they were boyfriend and girlfriend and by the end of it they were engaged! All photos taken by me: Sharon McLellan and edited by the lovely Grace at Hurtienne Photography.
The Day:
February 13th, 2013
The Location:
Heritage Gardens, Ia'o Valley
The Purpose:
To surprise Kayla with what she thought was just going to be a couples photo shoot and capture on camera the moment Aaron proposed.
Kayla's Perspective:
Did you know Aaron was going to pop the question? "I was pretty sure Aaron was going to propose (sorry, Aaron!). There were too many things out of the ordinary for something not to happen... He told me to dress nice and showed up with an orchid when he picked me up."
Were you still surprised when he asked? "Yes! I didn't know when he was going to ask and since we were getting our photos taken it took my mind off it... It was perfect."
Do you like the ring? "Yes, I love the ring. I liked it when he first proposed but now I like it even more. Everyday I look at it and think, "It's perfect!" and that it was his Grandma's makes it even more special."
Aaron's Perspective:
How long had you been planning to propose? "I had been planning since November of 2012, but I really started seriously planning after asking her dads permission in December."
What were you thinking of most during that day? "Today is the day I do it!"
What's the sentiment behind the ring: "It belonged to my Grandma, she gave it to before she moved back to the mainland. The fact that she gave me her diamond ring (her engagement ring from my grandfather) had a lot of gravity in it and meant I needed to give it to someone really special."
