This Groom Had a 24 Hour Window to Pull Off the Perfect Proposal
Being in a long distance relationship is not easy. Neither is planning the perfect proposal when you only have 24 hours to pull it off, but with the help of Olive Photography, Andy did. Meeting up in Toronto before heading on a trip through Asia, Andy arranged a sweet proposal followed by gorgeous engagement photos. Fall in love with it all in The Vault!
From Olive Photography...On a recent evening my phone started to ring – the call display said the number was from the US. I picked up, and learned of the sweetest thing!
Andy and Viv have a long distance relationship – both living in different states currently. Originally both from California, she moved to New York to be a real estate lawyer and he tours around being a dentist for the military. They were planning a trip through Asia, and they had a one-day layover in Toronto.
Andy wanted to propose on that layover day, and he wanted a photographer to document the happy occasion.
I was SO excited. I can’t even tell you.
Well, being the totally enthusiastic and keen person I am, I immediately started working with him to brainstorm ideas, and we quickly set a plan. I would gather a few items – picnic basket, blanket, champagne, glasses – and help him find THE BEST Toronto skyline view for a romantic site for him to pop the question.
The day approached. Their planes had both arrived in Toronto and they met up around 11:30 am. They checked into a hotel, dropped off some stuff, & explored the city. Meanwhile, I took the ferry to the Island that afternoon and set up the picnic stuff at the site.
At 5:30pm, they took the ferry across and Andy started to lead Viv across the island (saying a friend had said it was super pretty) using the directions I had sent him.
I knew what they looked like (he had sent me a photo), and when I saw them approach I readied my camera.
They arrived at the spot, and Andy made a comment about the strange picnic basket. They walked towards it, and he got down on one knee.
Y’all know what happens next. She was totally surprised in that moment. And I was smiling ear to ear as I photographed the magic happen.
Hugs, kisses, happiness abound!
They then enjoyed some bubbly and some quality time exploring the beautiful scenery as I snapped away to commemorate the evening.
