Bailey + Brady’s Proposal

When Brady first contacted me about his surprise proposal idea, my heart started racing. Excitement, of course, for the lovely couple, Brady and Bailey, and the incredible chapter they were about to begin. But also, a healthy dose of anxiety. The pressure of capturing such a special, once-in-a-lifetime moment was immense. Would the proposal go as planned? Would Bailey say yes? Would I capture the perfect shot without ruining the surprise? The anticipation was almost unbearable, but in the best possible way.

This proposal had an extra layer of excitement for me: the location. Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans! Not only is this my team, but knowing this iconic stadium is soon to be replaced, added a touch of history and soon-to-be nostalgia to the occasion. Capturing this moment felt extra special, knowing it would be a lasting memory tied to a significant landmark here in Nashville, Tennessee.

Brady had a fantastic plan, and it showed. Every detail was meticulously considered, making our jobs as photographers, a breeze. With the help of Bailey's dad, who works for the Titans, we were able to seamlessly blend into the background, ready to capture the magic unfold.

And then, it happened- the moment of truth arrived. Brady got down on one knee, the ring sparkled, and tears started to flow. Witnessing that raw, unfiltered emotion is incredibly moving. The genuine surprise, the overwhelming joy, the love radiating from both partners – it's pure magic. As a photographer, I feel incredibly privileged to be a part of this intimate and unforgettable moment.

Photographing a surprise proposal is about more than just getting the perfect shot. It's about capturing the essence of their love story, the raw emotions, the fleeting moments that will forever be cherished. It's about creating a visual narrative that will transport them back to that magical day for years to come.
