I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I absolutely love photographing proposals! The anticipation, the planning, and of course the big surprise is just so much fun! Jon did an amazing job planning the perfect surprise proposal for Erika and she had no idea. The proposal happened at the B’Nai Israel Synagogue in Baltimore, Maryland. This synagogue holds a special place in their and their family’s hearts so of course it was the perfect location. Erika thought she was meeting the Rabbi there to be photographed and interviewed for a Jewish magazine (and yes, the Rabbi was in on it!). When she arrived, Jon was waiting for her and obviously there was no interview, but it was the perfect cover. Jon had lined the aises with pictures from both of their families and had a bouquet of flowers waiting for her. So sweet! After the super sweet proposal, we headed over to The Sagamore Pendry Hotel for some portraits and then back to their apartment where both of their families were waiting on them to surprise and celebrate the newly engaged couple. Jon had even planned for some friends to come over later in the evening to celebrate. He thought of everything! I’m so happy that I could be there to document this sweet couple!
