From Dana Fernandez Photography … Two weeks before the proposal, our nephew, Matthew, told us that he was going to propose to his girlfriend Ashley! We were so ecstatic! We immediately offered to secretly capture everything. His original idea was to go for a walk along Houston’s Buffalo Bayou and lead her to a random picnic, which is where he would propose!
As we got closer to the date, I started to think about the fact that Ashley would probably want to be dressed up and looking her best, especially since every moment would be captured. So, about a week before, I came up with an idea to still do the original picnic but to make it appear to be a styled shoot.
Thanks to the amazing vendors, Blush and Vine, Hey Lovely Makeup, and Buttercup, we were able to put our scheme together in just a few short days! The day before, I called Matthew and Ashley acting like I had a styled shoot and told Ashley that the models got sick. I asked if she could fill in last minute and since it was a “styled shoot”, Ashley was to dress up and have her hair and makeup done.
Everything down to the last detail was absolute perfection! We even used a blanket that Matthew had custom made with pictures of them together over the past couple of years and also Matthew’s parents’ wedding flutes for the champagne. Ashley was completely surprised and everything turned out so beautifully!
