As a photographer, I often dream of capturing life-changing events that will be meaningful and looked back at with love. Booked to capture the love between Nelly Naylor and Amelia Rose, I picked a woodland location that allowed me to translate this romance and friendship into creative imagery.
An unexpected phone call from Amelia the night before changed everything. Amelia confessed she would like to propose to Nelly and needed my help arranging it. The pressure and excitement was building, but we agreed on a secret sign I’d give to Amelia once I’d found the right location for this big moment. “Leave it with me,” I said as I went through ideas and possible scenarios. A quick video call in the morning confirmed that Amelia was still up for it, and it was now or never.
