With the help of Ariel's family, Sam successfully surprised Ariel with his proposal at the Texas State Capitol last week!
In 2008, Ariel and Sam carved their names into a railing at the Texas State Capitol. Sam proposed at the same spot 9 years later. To pull this off, Ariel's sister claimed that two budding photographers (Sami and myself) needed models and Ariel was needed. During the photoshoot, Sam appeared with the rest of Ariel's family (which were supposedly in Dallas) and proposed. I'm so happy I got to capture Ariel and Sam's engagement. This family is so sweet, and even invited Sami and me to brunch at Josephine's House (highly recommend their bread and pastries).
One of my favorites from this session is the picture of Ariel realizing everyone had been lying to her for months. Her mom responded to her saying it was quite uncomfortable. I adore how this whole family worked hard to make this special day happen.
