It is difficult to put in to words what it is like to be a part of someone’s proposal. Exciting just does not seem to cut it!!
Samantha has been planning this for months. She reached out to be and I basically flipped out immediately because I knew this was going to be one of the most special sessions I have done so far. We devised a plan (insert: MWAHAHAH) and I pretended to ask Tasha and Sam in a group chat if they would be willing to do a photo session with me since I needed more practice and examples of photos with same-sex couples. Tasha was ALL for it!!
I do not want to give away some of the other tricks we used to pull all of this off incase I get to use those tricks on you one day;) But, I will let the photos and a few captions show you how magical this rooftop proposal really was!
These two found each other. They found love. She liked it and she put a ring on it.
![First things first, I had a little pre-date with the family about 30 minutes before the shoot. YUP! Family and friends were there ready to share the magic. Tasha has no idea!!](https://franzettiphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-09-25_0001.jpg)

![We moved around to a slightly different area of the rooftop so Nick could sneak the ring out of Samantha's purse. I set up a little scenario that had Tasha looking at me so Nick could slip the ring to Samantha. The best part about this is Nick took a REALLY REALLY long time to hand the ring over. So, I am making ridiculous conversation with Tasha to keep her focus on me like grilling her on how much she does or does not enjoy walking their dog!!](https://franzettiphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-09-25_0004.jpg)

After the air had cleared, friends and family headed down to a resturant to give Samantha and Tasha a few more minutes of rooftop magic.
Few things compare to getting to watch people live out moments of joy.
Samantha and Tasha: thank you for being you. THANK YOU for letting me be a part of it!
