Tampa Proposal Salt Shack on the Bay | Rachel & Brenton

I LOVE photographing proposals!!! Literally, I never get nervous shooting anything except proposals because I have to get the perfect moment but also can’t ruin the surprise!! Brenton’s mom called me and she and Brenton and I started scheming to make sure Rachel was completely surprised and it worked!! Rachel was already emailing with Salt Shack on the Bay about seeing their waterfront space for their wedding, nothing wrong with being proactive! She thought they were there to see the property with Brenton and their parents and I was just there shooting some sunset photos for Salt Shack. Right there on the water, when she turned around, Brenton was down on one knee and asked her to marry him! Her reaction is priceless!! When we were talking after, she said she was giving him problems all day about he should be proposing and how he should have a baseball hat on when he did! After we got some sunset photos there was one last surprise, about 15 of their friends were there waiting to celebrate and have dinner with them. It was amazing and SO much fun!!
