I guess you could say it was love at first sight. We've always known since we were young, but life took us separate ways before thankfully leading us right back together.
I was the photographer at my niece's first birthday, so needless to say the entire family was there! I was distracted all day to say the least, trying to capture every sweet moment of her special day (perfect opportunity to ask my dad for his blessing come to find out). I've always liked to consider myself pretty observant. "No one will ever be able to surprise me!" Not this day. As the party was ending, the crowd started to leave, but my dad had one last photo in mind...the family photo. I get the camera all setup and as instructed at the last minute went to jump in the picture, running frantically toward the group looking for Kelly to stand by him. He wasn't there. Suddenly, I feel someone grab me from behind. "It's all a setup", I hear! "What?!" I turn to find Kelly, he drops to one knee & uttered the most beautiful words I'd ever heard! My dream was to have that moment somehow captured and boy did he! From every angle! Thank you, Kelly Gough, for making my every dream come true!
