Something that is very important to me is authentic storytelling. I want to capture realness.
When my buddy Danny hired me to capture his surprise proposal, we brainstormed how to make sure it felt natural and not staged but was thoughtfully planned out. So we plotted an epic plot:
I contacted Kayla to "plan a surprise shoot for Danny" and she loved the idea (we all live on the east coast and the proposal was happening in Oregon). I even came up with the idea for her to write a letter to him, so that I could justify putting a mic on him.
On the day-of the proposal we hiked through Silver Falls. I wanted to capture the story of how it happened so with with help from my buddy, Levi, we documented the hike as well.
It all ended up perfect - it was fun, it was a surprise, it was romantic. Although there was planning involved, we let it organically unfold and it couldn't have been better.
Stay tuned for the video to watch it all happen!
