Ally & Ray - Surprise Engagement

Initial Contact

Ray contacted me about a month before the day he was planning on proposing to his girlfriend, Ally.

I was of course, super excited to work with him on planning this engagement!

However, a few things were a little bit unknown about the location, timing, and the exact timeline. This is where we decided it would be best for me to go visit the location with one of his friends (who got the reservation in the first place) to get a feel of the location.

We visited Station 324 near downtown Columbus and to my surprise, it was actually a luxury apartment complex! Nope, no one that he knew lived there, however they have a rooftop covered lounge that was available for him to rent out, along with the GORGEOUS party room. We went at about the time that Ray would be proposing to see if the lighting would be ideal.

After snapping a few pictures and sending them to Ray, He decided on which location he would propose at exactly, and we finalized the game plan.

I typed up an easy timeline for him to follow, and to share with the other people who were apart of the second surprise.

I was hiding in the attached second room on the upstairs balcony, ready for them to arrive.

I captured some pictures of him helping her out of the car from the rooftop.

Once they got upstairs, I silently had my camera up and ready as he led her to the spot we agreed on. He un-blindfolded her and her face lit up with excitement as she realized....

SHE SAID YES!

Well, duh!

I honestly almost started crying along with her! It was the sweetest thing to witness and capture.

I finally got to introduce myself and check out that RING.

I was blown away.

GORGEOUS.
