The Proposal

The photos capture it all: The surprise, the love, the excitement.

My cousins had asked us before to be their models for their photography website, so I didn't think anything of it when they asked once again..... On November 25th, Cameron and I drove out to Corona del Mar for what I thought would be some fun beachy photos taken by my cousins, but little did I know the plans that Cam had long awaited and planned. My cousins had me believing that they were hoping to capture some romantic and more casual photos for their website and that they would be shooting another couple that day as well. When we arrived we were the only couple there, but they assured me that the others were on their way, just running late. They told us that we should get started because the sun was beginning to lower for the set. So we locked up the car and Cam brought his jacket in case I got cold (wink, wink!). My cousins found us a spot near some rocks that was private enough to start taking some photos. They showed us ideas of the types of poses they wanted to capture, so letting them be the experts they are, Cam and I both did as they asked. We took multiple pictures together, until they asked me to stand alone facing the water. While they captured these photos, Cam ran to his jacket to pull out the ring and then after a few snaps, my cousins directed him to come back into a position where he was standing in front of me, in a hug-like fashion. It was then that he was standing with the engagement ring behind my back for the camera to see. Again, after a couple of snaps, my cousin asked us to face each other. At that moment I had turned to see my handsome guy down on one knee with such a big smile on his face. While I cried in shock and disbelief, he proceeded to tell me that he loved me and while I continued to ugly cry, he asked "Christina, will you marry me?" And, of course, I answered "YES!"
