A couple of weeks a go an excited Scott called me to shoot an engagement shoot. Well it turned out that they weren't actually engaged - yet! Scott was obviously very exicted (and somewhat nervous) and we conversed a few times over the week about shooting him proposing to her while I was there to record it - naturally I leapt at the chance! We came up with a plan: I'd pick them up, we'd drive into Beacon Hill, we'd take some photos, then at an undetermined point Scott or I would suggest a good place for the proposal, I'd get Jenn looking the other way and he'd be down on bended knee...

Well back to the start of the day. It was a lovely, sunny and unusually warm Sunday morning as I drove to Scott's in Medford to pick them both up. I met with Jenn (who knew they were off to shoot a portrait of them in town, but had no idea what was REALLY going to happen) and Scott, and we piled into the car. After squeezing my car into a tight spot by the State House, we set about warming them up to the camera around Boston Common before heading back into the streets of Beacon Hill after the sun had come up a little. Seeking out the best spot we went back to a beautiful cobbled street that I had been to with Carly and Sam last year. I suggested it to Scott, looking at him suggestively, he nodded (I think the nerves were setting in here) and we proceeded off to the street. We proceeded to fool Jenn into looking the other way, and Scott got down on one knee. The photos tell the rest!

Congratulations!
