A sunset proposal at Mount Bonnell in Austin, TX


Talk about a perfect day! What was supposed to be a 100% change of rain at sunset turned into a beautiful, rainless proposal. A few weeks prior, Tice contacted myself and Emily Bishop, a classically trained violinist, to plan his proposal to Genna on their family trip from Chicago. Because he had never been to Austin, I met up with Genna's brother Tim to plan the perfect spot for the proposal at Mount Bonnell- one of the best views of Lake Austin and Downtown.

The day of, Tice and Tim planned for a family dinner at Caroline's downtown, with a detour to watch the sunset at Mount Bonnell. As they walked up to the lookout, Emily played "God Bless the Broken Road" to a large crowd of onlookers- who were enjoying the sunset, music, and who all were now anticipating the proposal at this point. Genna's whole family watched as Tice lead her to the rose petals and as he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Genna was so shocked she didn't even realize that the violin music was for her- she just assumed that Emily was there to play for the crowd!

Capturing proposals always makes my heart flutter with anticipation as someone says one of the most important "yes's!" they could ever say! I'm excited to share these photos with y'all.
