Joshua Tree Surprise Proposal

Talk about a stunninggg Joshua Tree surprise proposal with Matt & Erika!

Matt & Erika modeled for a styled shoot for us (with The Shootout Society), and it ended up turning into a Joshua Tree surprise proposal!! Surprising your partner by proposing during a photoshoot is always such a great way to go – it’s shocking + you get allll the photos of it!

Matt had told us earlier in the week that he wanted to propose during the shoot. He and Erika grew up together on the same street, and kinda saw each other here and there, but they didn’t really get to know each other until high school.

After high school, they both left California to go to college in different states. They dated other people, spent time alone, and thennnn came back together to the same place after graduating college! They started dating at that point, and have now been together for a whole five years.

Now back to the sunset shoot at Cap Rock in Joshua Tree National Park! When we were photographing them, we directed Erika to model solo while Matt secretly grabbed the ring and “got a drink of water.” After his little “break,” he came back, got down on one knee, and let me tell you it was emotionallll. Erika was shocked – she cried, laughed, and jumped for joy, and I’m so dang happy we got photos of it all!

Once the big moment had happened, we finished off the evening taking sunset photos in Joshua Tree. These two were such a blast to photograph and you definitelyyy need to check out the full vintage editorial shoot here!

WHY we're the perfect match

WE ARE SOULMATES

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

Michelle is one of the most down to earth, genuine, amazing and talented people I’ve met. There is no other photographer I would rather have at my wedding besides Michelle. She captures love at its most beautiful moments and doesn’t leave any details out. Our photos were everything we wanted and more! Thank you Michelle for being THE BEST photographer and friend. We’ll cherish our photos (and you!) forever!
