James & Julia: The Papparazzi Proposal

James & Julia: surprise proposal in Wallkill, NY

James met Julia ( Jules) at a party a few years ago when he was living and volunteering in the printery at Wallkill.

He was hosting a going away party for a friend, and she had come just to be  supportive to a girlfriend who wanted to go....Not in a party mood, she sat quietly on the couch.

"Who is she? ", he wondered...He made time to find out.

They hung out late into the night after the party had ended, realizing that they had so much in common. His gregarious nature was the perfect compliment for her mild gentleness. They seemed inseparable until circumstances forced thousands of miles between them some months later.

But James was not letting this girl go. Thousands of miles apart, West coast to East; they would make it work.

He made plans to move back to NY so he could be near her. And propose.

But she didn't think he had the ring yet. They came by on Saturday, saying, "why not take a few cute couple pictures outside?" while they were at my place having coffee before an impending storm...

We went outside to take a few photos-

Family and friends were quietly parking and sneaking around the house from the front to the backyard, when he got down on one knee and.... Well, I'll let the photos tell the story better than my words can!

Congratulations to you both! Can't wait for your engagement session and wedding!!
