I was a secret proposal photographer without knowing it myself.

After a long day of lying in bed not feeling well last saturday night, I decided to take a walk downtown with my camera. I was out by the light house on the park point side of the lift bridge when a couple came out my way. We were the only people out there, so maybe that was why the gentleman whispered to me if I could take his proposal photos when they walked by me. I was kind of surprised and I just said "What?" By that time he was already over by his girlfriend who was looking out at the lake, not facing us, and I decided to just go with it. And it was beautiful. I could see that he was a little nervous, but he had no reason to be. She turned around when he had kneeled down, and the smile on her face was unforgettable. I was just a random person out there looking for some shots to take, and I ended up getting to catch one of the most beautiful moments of life. That is what is so great about being a photographer. You can catch the very best moments of someone's life, and they'll be able to keep it forever.
