Rana + Jay | Columbus Marriage Proposal | Columbus Proposal Photographer

Back in July, I received an email from a Mom wanting me to photograph the proposal of her son and his girlfriend. They had been dating for twelve years and the proposal was planned to take place on the property that Jay grew up on as a child. The plan was to inform Rana that Jay’s Mom was planning a photoshoot for them! 

Well the plan worked and the evening could not have been more perfect!  The best summer weather, the best sunset! Rana and Jay wanted their love of the outdoors incorporated into their session. They enjoy all things outdoors including fly fishing, quad riding, and hunting. Wow did they have the greatest property to showcase their love of nature! Stunning trees, a huge pond, a field of sunflowers, everything about their property was simply amazing. 

We ended the session as they slipped into their formal outfits. The sun was slowly starting to set so the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. This entire time Rana had no idea what was about to happen. My cue for knowing when Jay was going to present the ring was when he grabbed Rana’s hands! The happiness overflowed as Jay got down on one knee, with Rana in complete shock!  The pure joy of her facial expression says it all!  With a cheerful yes, Rana accepted Jay’s marriage proposal!

The next surprise came as Rana’s parents where hiding behind a building, watching this joyous occasion come to life.  Everyone was elated with tears of happiness.

Watching this unique moment unfold is what makes my job so exciting! It is so rewarding to be a part of something so big that they will be able to share with their friends and family.  

Here is a look at all the sweet moments from their proposal!
