Central Florida Photography: A Proposal Story

I'm a sucker for happily-ever-after and all the other sweet romantic-type stories.  And what better a place for a sweet, romantic story than Cinderella's Castle?  Especially if you were once "friends" with Cinderella herself!  I got to be part of a very special day for Dan and Nancy before I'd even officially met them!  Our mutual friend, Karen, found out that Dan was planning to propose to Nancy at Magic Kingdom Park right in front of Cinderella's Castle.  Nancy and Karen had met when they were both interns work for Disney on the College Program.  Karen gave me a call and hired me to shoot their proposal as a gift to the couple.  (Brilliant idea, by the way!  What girl wouldn't want pictures of her proposal to look back on?!).  And it was perfect because Nancy had no idea who I was so she would (hopefully) just assume I was a tourist hanging around taking pictures.

Dan told Nancy he had to fly to Orlando for work and asked her to meet up with him there so they could spend a little time at Disney since it was so special to her.  Of course, Dan didn't have to be in Orlando for work at all.  The whole trip was planned so he could propose to Nancy.  Dan got in touch with me the week before the proposal, we made plans for the day it would take place and everything was set in motion.  On the day that the proposal was to take place, rain became quite the threat.  Luckily, it held off and everything went off without a hitch!  Nancy was completely surprised and of course she said YES!  Dan had gotten Nancy's grandmother's engagement ring from her mother and had it cleaned and ready to give to Nancy (the ring was GORGEOUS!).  The entire proposal was absolutely beautiful.


So, best wishes to a beautiful couple!  Prayers that your wedding day is just as magical as your proposal day and that your marriage is full of many blessings!
