Happy Tears and a Family Celebration: Kayla & Alex's Surprise Proposal

Kayla had no idea it was coming. Alex planned a quiet moment for just the two of them, and he got exactly what he hoped for: happy tears and a yes. Then he surprised her a second time, with their closest family and friends waiting just around the corner to celebrate.

Just the Two of Them

Alex proposed beside a white gazebo overlooking a pond, with a fountain going in the background. It was quiet and personal, the way he wanted it, and the look on Kayla's face says everything.

The Second Surprise

Waiting nearby were the people they love most. The hugs, tears and laughter that followed made the day feel even bigger, and we kept the cameras rolling through all of it.

Newly Engaged

Before everyone settled in to celebrate, we took Kayla & Alex for a few portraits around the gazebo and the water.
