When Dolin first reached out to me this week, I was so glad to be available to capture this moment for them in Fells Point! He was referred to me from my friend Meghan and it just reminds me of how sweet friendships can be in this industry! Dolin did an amazing job at keeping this a surprise for Rachel, even telling her about other proposal plans he had for this June, so clever! He had this all figured out! When he explained to me that they spent five hours at this bench at Bond Street Social on their first date, it was clear that there was no better place for their proposal. I mean, how sweet is that?
I got to the spot early, found a bench nearby and anxiously waited for them to arrive! I am so glad I brought my favorite Lysa TerKeurst book to read because I even fooled Dolin! When he got down on one knee, it all came together perfectly, and she was so surprised! The ring is as beautiful as the smile on her face and it was obvious she was thrilled to be the future Mrs. Patel! Afterwards, the two of them went to celebrate with family and spend the day at wine in the woods! Dolin, you did an amazing job!
Dolin & Rachel – I am so honored to be a small part in the beginning of the rest of your lives together! I wish you guys a lifetime of joy!
