I am still in shock because it was so.much.fun. When Alex reached out to me I may or may not have said yes rather quickly out of excitement since this has been a huge photographer goal of mine for quite some time. After chatting through emails and finally a phone call (while he was at work and not close to Melanie hehe) we came up with a secret plan to meet by Boston Common.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Melanie live in NYC and were coming to Boston to celebrate Melanie&#8217;s birthday, least that&#8217;s what Alex told her.\u00a0As the days came closer, we both were watching the pending rain storm that was hitting Boston. I&#8217;m a sucker for a good surprise let alone a surprise proposal so Alex and I made sure we had the plan down so it would all goes smoothly. We had decided to meet at Park Street where I would be sitting at the fountain pretending to be a &#8220;tourist with a camera&#8221;. As they walked by me, I captured a few moments pre-proposal as I quickly kept up with them toward the middle of the commons. Alex whisked Melanie up to the Gazebo, as discussed, and I stood below capturing each precious moment. Then finally she turns to me as Alex says, &#8220;now that you have said yes, say hello to Emily our photographer&#8221; hey girl hey! We then got to spend some time together walking through the Public Garden and I got to witness how much love was between these two people. I was so honored to be involved in your love story Alex and Melanie! Thank you so much for allowing me to capture these special moments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{www.emilyteresaphotography.com}<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-538\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1169-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1169\" width=\"1825\" height=\"2738\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-540\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1181-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1181\" width=\"1772\" height=\"2820\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-542\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1185-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1185\" width=\"1825\" height=\"2738\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-545\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1202-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1202\" width=\"1859\" height=\"2688\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-551\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1298-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1298\" width=\"1825\" height=\"2738\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-550\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1287-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1287\" width=\"1825\" height=\"2738\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-549\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1254-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1254\" width=\"1825\" height=\"2738\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-552\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1321-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1321\" width=\"1825\" height=\"2738\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-553\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1324-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1324\" width=\"1825\" height=\"2738\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-548\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyteresaphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3z5a1248-1.jpg\" alt=\"3Z5A1248\" width=\"1825\" height=\"2738\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While shooting engagement sessions, I always get to hear about the proposal but I&#8217;ve never had the chance to be a part of the beginning of the story until a few weekends ago.
