Ian contacted me separately about photo-shooting a surprise proposal to Starla. Gladly, I jumped on the idea! Starla was flying in from Tennessee, and Ian was driving in all the way from Tallahassee to pick up Starla from Jacksonville airport. Ian made a pit stop first in downtown Jacksonville to meet with me and go over on where he will be proposing to her. There was really no place for me to hide and start taking pictures without startling Starla, so I put my beanie on to create a disguise and pretended to take pictures of the fountain as they were walking up towards the river. My signal to start taking pictures of them is when Ian kneels down to tie his shoelace. Aww, it was so sweet! It was also so fun to see Starla's reaction when Ian told her to turn around and wave at me because I was taking their pictures :) Too cute!
It was ungodly freezing that morning for Florida, but I can just feel the warmth of their love for each other. It was amazing, and I am truly thankful to them for having me be a part of their special moment. I'm also glad to finally meet Starla in person :)
