Proposal + Surprise Wedding!

I am so excited to finally share this story! It will forever stand out as one of the most unique experiences I’ve had as a photographer, and I have nothing but the most wonderful memories from this day. Dwight planned for months this elaborate proposal for his love, Sandy. He arranged for their closest friends and family, from all over the world, to gather at the Flume Gorge and surprise Sandy as she and Dwight went for what she thought was just a fun Friday hike. At points throughout the loop, she would run into her family from across the country and her oldest friends she hasn’t seen in ages. After ‘running into’ the first few groups of people, she knew something special was happening. At the end of the hike (about an hour and about 45 excited reunions later) Dwight proposed. She said YES, not knowing that the biggest surprise was that he had planned an elaborate, gorgeous wedding for that afternoon. She was completely blown away and speechless. The wedding was dreamed up and designed by Kristin of By Emily B, who worked with Dwight for months to create this gorgeous, romantic evening for Dwight and Sandy to celebrate with their loved ones. I’m also so excited that this was just featured on Martha Stewart Weddings…what an honor!
