Phil & Andrea's Proposal 11/8/08

Here are some pics I took a while ago of my brother and soon to be sister-in-law, but they're still some of my favorites. It's not often that you get to capture the raw emotion of an actual proposal. Here is the background story to these images:

Andrea had set some pretty stringent requirements for Phil to fulfill for his proposal.

1. It had to be a complete surprise.
2. It had to be in a beautiful surrounding.
3. She had to be wearing a pretty dress.
4. And she wanted it to be photographed.

We managed to pull it off at the Dallas Arboretum on a beautiful day. We pre-planned on where and when they were going to have a picnic. I had sneak around a bit in the bushes and trees in order to not be spotted by Andrea. In doing so I seriously creeped out a lot of people. But it all was worth it for these pictures.
