Olivia + Brock | A Surprise Proposal

Brock and Olivia met in their high school choir class in Bolivar, MO. They’ve now been together for three years and Brock knew it was time to pop the question to the girl he loved.

When Brock messaged me, asking if I would be interested in shooting his proposal to Olivia, my answer was a resounding, “YES!” He sent me directions and Micah and I drove up to Lake Springfield on a cloudy February afternoon.

As we walked the path where Olivia was destined to walk a short time later, Micah and I were both amazed at the romantic forethought that went into Brock’s planning. Not only had he picked a beautiful spot overlooking Lake Springfield, but he had strung pictures of them back and forth across the path for her to look at AND each one had handwritten notes for her to read!

Family and close friends strategically stood with the the letters spelling “MARRY ME?”, while Brock had the ring box tucked away in his pocket, waiting anxiously for the love of his life to arrive. As she appeared through the trees we could all see the smile on her face as she was looking at the various pictures. He led her to the “spot” and he poured out the love in his heart as she stood there smiling…and then he got down on one knee.

“Yes!”

Tears. Hugs. Smiles.

Congratulations to you both! It was such an honor and privilege to witness this amazing moment with you!
