I caught it! The moment, that is...

Having read your story and seen the shot of her in the bikini my question is, what took you so long? ... Don't plan on a long engagement, get that lady under contract A.S.A.P!

Love this. I love how much thought you put into this, the beauty of the location and that you will have these beautiful pics to remember it by. I think you should use this for the Save The Date cards!

Very cool...

Thanks again, everyone! I'm just glad I could give her an engagement story she'll be proud to tell for years to come. A month or so before we left, I remember seeing one of the silliest proposals I've ever witnessed, and had a conversation with myself. First, I said, "I can do better than that" followed by, "challenge accepted.."

Drawing up the terms as we speak!

It's funny you mention that. Those were some of the first words out of her mouth when she saw the photos! I Think it might end up as the cover photo that we put up at the entrance to the wedding.

On a more technical notw, these were actually some of the most challenging photos I've edited. There was so little contrast due to the lighting conditions, and there were so many conflicting colors that caused really tough color casts over everything. I actually had to create two separate edits, one for the background, and one for us, then use a layer mask to bring the two together. That was the proposal ones, anyway. The rest of the photos were much easier.

Just remember, masking doesn't work when married.

Excellent images, and even better story.

Awesome photos, killer story. Congrats

Congratz. You were way more prepared to capture the moment than I was just a couple of weeks ago. Best wishes.

 

[manaheim]

Wow. I feel inferior. Lol


Awesome story, beautiful pictures, amazing sky... Congrats!!!!

 

[DarkShadow]

Congrats! I think the photos are great and very pleasing to the eye and perfect for the moment. Doesn't get much better then that.

 

[BrandonLaw]

That was epic!! Congratulations to both of you and kudos on the great shots!

 

[LinusM]

Great idea to capture the moment yourself - think I would have briefed someone else to get the frames. There again you could be sure of the decisive moment I suppose working on the remote!
Great setting & congrats!

You know, by raising the bar THIS high, you're going to make it difficult for the next guy who tries to propose. "Oh, so where's my beach? And the sunrise? And how come your pictures look nowhere as good as "crimbfighter"'s. And the weeklong vacation where I could get my tan on? And where are the gorgeous clouds?" Oh yes. The bar is high.

I think I sorta screwed myself on this one, actually. What's she going to be expecting for the next big thing?!?! I'm not sure I can top it
