Brianna and Marissa | Surprise Proposal at the Arboretum at Penn State | State College, PA

What better way to kick off Pride Month than by sharing some of my favorite photos from Brianna and Marissa’s surprise proposal! When Brianna first reached out to me months in advance to start planning everything, I knew this was going to be something special. Together, we carefully coordinated all the details to make sure the moment went off without a hitch while keeping the proposal a complete surprise. Watching everything finally come together was such a joy, and being trusted to document such an important milestone in their relationship was an absolute honor.

The proposal itself was filled with so much love, excitement, and emotion. But one of my favorite parts of the day happened afterward, when both of their immediate families arrived to celebrate with them. Seeing the newly engaged couple surrounded by the people who love them most made an already unforgettable moment even more meaningful. There were plenty of happy tears, hugs, and smiles as everyone shared in the excitement.

To top it all off, both families gathered for dinner together to continue the celebration. It was the perfect ending to a beautiful day and such a wonderful reminder that love is not only about the two people saying "yes" to forever, but also about the community that supports them along the way. Brianna and Marissa, congratulations again! I couldn't be happier for you both!
