Looking back on these pictures, what I remember most about this session was Sam's pure joy. (you'll see it in the pictures)

Collin had been planning his proposal for several months and, even though they've been together for years already, she was not expecting to walk around the corner to "check out the view" and see what had been prepared for her. Collin's mom had already been to the cabin that day and worked tirelessly to create a beautiful, intimate setting for her son to propose to his bride, and Collin and I had already met the month before at the venue to discuss lighting, decorations, and a plan for the big day - so when Sam pulled around the corner we were all ready! 

Her hand immediately came up to her face and she cried happy tears all the way down to the dock, she said yes, and then for the next hour went through waves of Joy and amazement and processing that she was engaged! Her reaction was so precious, and I ended up laughing and crying with her for a good part of it. 

Congratulations, Collin and Sam - and thank you so much for letting me be a part of such a beautiful moment!!
