I got a message that made my heart stop last week.
A young couple from Maryland was visiting Sedona. He had planned the perfect surprise proposal at Secret Slick Rock and had booked a photographer months in advance. The day before—the day before!—that photographer canceled on him.
He scrambled. He reached out. And somehow, fate smiled on me.
I showed up 30 minutes early, scouted the light, and found my spot. They arrived, hand in hand. And when he dropped to one knee at sunset, I was ready. I captured every moment—the tears, the laughter, the overwhelming yes.
But here's the best part: their love story.
He was a college athlete recovering from an injury. She was his physical therapist. After weeks of rehabilitation, he finally worked up the nerve to ask her out for lunch. And the rest, as they say, is history.
From healing to forever. From physical therapy to a lifetime together.
I don't believe in coincidences. Some moments are simply meant to be.
Congratulations to this incredible couple. I'm so honored to have been part of your story.
