Virginia Beach Engagement Photographer - Oceanfront Proposal

There is no doubt about it, surprise proposals are always fun and exciting to shoot! Amit & Jasmit's surprise Virginia Beach oceanfront proposal certainly was packed with anticipation and emotion. She had NO idea what he was planning.

They had finished up their spring college semester and were vacationing in Virginia Beach. Amit had  dinner reservations for Saturday evening, and he had also secretly reserved my services to shoot their marriage proposal.

Before dinner, Amit lured Jasmit down to the beach to watch him fish. It took some convincing to get her out on the beach. (She probably wondered why he was fishing in a dress shirt, ha ha.) As we waited for her to finish dressing for dinner, the anticipation mounted. After 30 minutes or so she finally appeared.

I hung out snapping photos of the sunset, while Amit tried to get her to check his line for him. She reluctantly agreed, and found a strange box on the end. When she walked back up from the shore, he quickly swapped the wet box for the real ring box and got down on one knee. 

She was totally shocked and overjoyed. Laughter and tears flowed freely and a small crowd of on-lookers cheered them on. 

Once the shock wore off, we spent some time taking a few engagement portraits before they headed off to dinner to celebrate. 

It was a thrill and an honor to be able to capture these moments for them. 

Congrats and best wishes you two!!
