Well, it’s February, which means love is in the air.  Surprise proposals are still very popular, and I’m finding myself doing more and more of these stealthy ninja style surprise proposals.  Today I bring you the proposal of Yohann & Erin at the mysterious Roosevelt Island in NY.  I met Yohann a few years back through my brother, and learned that A. he’s a very down to earth chill dude, and B. he’s pretty buff for an Indian guy.  Fast forward 2 years, and I got a call from Yohann asking me if I could photograph him proposing to his girlfriend.  What Yohann didn’t know is that hashtag #surpriseproposal has been trending for awhile now, so photographers are getting more and more request for them, and I was of course more than happy to help him capture the special moment.  We set the plan in motion, he went and scouted the perfect spot, and the rest was history.  Now my biggest concern when shooting these proposals is that I might accidently ruin the surprise since you know, my camera is pretty big and obvious.  It’s even harder to be hidden when there’s no cover or places to hide.  This one was probably the toughest one to not be detected, because there weren’t any trees or buildings to hide around, and other than one other tourist, I was the only other person at the park.  So, to try to play it off, I basically ran around like an idiot and tried taking pictures of seagulls.  In the end, everything went smoothly according to plan, and Yohann pulled off a beautiful proposal.  Erin was not only surprised, but couldn’t stop smiling the entire time out of excitement!  They couldn’t stop hugging and kissing each other, which was very sweet to witness.  As tense as it is for me to shoot surprise proposals, I always love it because I get to capture genuine excitement and thrill of a couple, and those emotions can’t ever be replicated!  I had a great time photographing Yohann & Erin.  These two seem just right for each other, and they’re a pretty good looking couple as well.  Don’t believe me?  Scroll below now to see all the cuteness!
