I’ve photographed plenty of surprise proposals and several gender reveals, but this was a first to have a proposal disguised as a gender reveal! Jeffery went alllll out on this. He made a whole video for Kara (which she thought was part of the gender reveal), asking her to marry him at the end. It all went so perfectly!!!
Here is a link to the video Jeffery made for Kara:
We photographed the two of them as they watched the video and then he popped the question!
After the video they moved on to the gender reveal. Their family really did trick them on this! They first bit into a cupcake which happened to just be a chocolate cupcake.
Jeffery looked over at the group and said “So you mean the baby’s not mine?!” LOL!! It was a hilarious moment.
Next they opened a gift. Inside the box was a pink and blue tissue. My thought was “oh wow, they’re having twins!”. Nope. Family pulled another surprise.
Finally, they opened the last gift and it was BLUE!!! They were so excited!
This was one of the sweetest proposals I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing.
Much love to this sweet couple!!!
