I am NOT a morning person. After I left my consulting job, I made a strict nothing-before-9am policy! (unless it’s a wedding day, obviously). However, I am super productive in the wee hours of the night (2…3… 4am)! Often in the mornings, I’ll roll over grumpily, grab my phone and scan my e-mails as a way to slowly wake my brain up. “Jon Cakes” sent me an e-mail titled “Proposal photography”. I swear, I leap out of my bed SO quickly to pop in my contacts and run to my iMac and read this e-mail. First off, I LOVE proposals. Secondly, HIS LAST NAME IS CAKES. There’s going to be a MRS. CAKES?! OMG. I thought to myself, “Maybe I can find a way for them to adopt me… or maybe Jon had a brother I could marry so I could be Nicole Cakes”. How cool would that be? It would be SO fitting! I later found out that it wasn’t his real name. A small part of me cried inside. 🙁 Anyway, fast forward to 6 days later, and I camped out for his surprise proposal in Cambridge. I hung our around the bridge between Memorial Drive and MIT with my friend Travis. I always bring someone with me during these sniper/ninja proposal projects because it’s always easier stalking with someone else. 🙂 Check out another fun Boston proposal that I photographed earlier this year with Jason and Sledder. Today was my definition of perfect weather and I was super excited to have been able to photograph this Boston proposal. *ahem. I think it’s something everyone should do. 🙂
