Alexis & Vanessa's Yosemite Proposal

Cook's Meadow loop near sunset in October

Alexis and Vanessa brought disposable cameras everywhere. That was the cover. I spotted them in Cook's Meadow, played tourist, offered to take a photo. Complimented the camera. Got them comfortable. Asked them to look toward the waterfall.

That's when he did it. She giggled for the rest of the session. The kind of reaction you can't fake and can't plan for. That's what a real surprise looks like.
