After capturing photos of the newly engaged couple, their friends joined the celebration. The reality of the surprise began to sink in for Emma as her friends hugged her tightly, all thrilled to have been part of the plan. The orchard was filled with laughter, happy tears, and the warmth of love and friendship as Tanner and Emma celebrated their engagement. Who could ask for more?

Tanner truly pulled off the perfect surprise, and it was an honor to capture such a beautiful moment. Watching their love and the joy of their friends was a reminder of how special these milestones are. Congratulations Tanner and Emma, your love story is just beginning and it’s already so beautiful!

When Tanner reached out to me to capture his proposal, I knew it was going to be special. The plan was set for October 26th at Ditmars Apple Orchard, and the day turned out to be nothing short of magical. The weather was perfect, a sunny fall day that felt like it was made for a proposal. Tanner, Emma, and their friends spent the morning exploring the orchard, savoring the crisp air and sampling delicious ciders. While Emma enjoyed the outing, she had no idea that a close friend had secretly arrived earlier to set up a dreamy proposal spot under the apple trees. Champagne and a stunning bouquet completed the picture-perfect proposal spot under the apple trees.

Around half past noon, I arrived at the orchard and found a discreet hiding spot among the trees, camera ready and heart racing with anticipation. I spotted the group weaving their way through the rows of apple trees. Tanner and Emma eventually broke off from the group, heading toward the setup. Emma was still blissfully unaware of what was about to unfold. As they approached the spot, the moment finally arrived. Tanner dropped to one knee and asked Emma to spend forever with him. Emma gasped in disbelief, her face lighting up with shock and joy as Tanner presented her with a gorgeous ring. She said yes, of course! They hugged, celebrated, and popped champagne under the apple trees, Emma’s excitement and happiness shining through every moment.
