Hunter & Drew’s Surprise Proposal | Spartanburg Wedding Photographer

Back in July Drew contacted me about photographing his proposal to Hunter. Y’all I squealed when I got the text because I was so excited and also because it meant I’d be photographing a friends engagement so it made it that much more special!! I didn’t realize how much though and detail Drew had put into this until I walked into CrossFit Spartanburg on August 22nd to photograph it. Drew had not only his family who lives locally be there, but Hunter’s family that lives in PA had secretly come into town as well as friends from here in Spartanburg and all over had come to celebrate their engagement as well.

Hunter & Drew met at CrossFit so it was the perfect place for Drew to ask Hunter to be his wife. Getting her there was a BIG plan but y’all it worked out perfect and she was completely surprised!! Drew had strung lights in the gym and was standing under them when she arrived and as soon as Hunter got over to Drew she threw her arms around him and wouldn’t let go. She said later that she knew what was happening at that point and she knew she was prolonging it but she was so happy she didn’t want to stop hugging him. Eventually she did and Drew got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. After she said yes she realized friends and family were hiding in the dark and from there the celebration began!! Lots of smiles and happy tears happened on this BEAUTIFUL Saturday evening and y’all it was such an honor to be there to photograph this moment for them. Now I can’t wait for their 2021 wedding day!! Here are a few of my favorite images from their surprise engagement!!

I was able to sneak them outside for a few quick portraits now that they are engaged!! Can’t wait to see them in a few months for their engagement session!!!

Photography is in my blood and seeking truth is in my soul. Which is a deep way of saying, I’ve loved to take photos for a really long time, y’all. I’d love to share my story with you then listen to yours.

One of the most common questions I get—right after “What’s your favorite wedding venue?”—is “How do you balance being a mom and running a photography business?” The truth? Some days, it’s a well-oiled machine. Other days, it’s organized chaos. But it’s always full of love, creativity, and a whole lot of carline coffee.  Being a […]
