Nick and Sydney's Surprise Proposal at Delaware Park, Buffalo NY - Photographed by Ariel Hawkins Photography

I LOVE surprise proposal sessions, although I always have a little bit of anxiety about keeping it all a secret and not messing it up haha!

Nick called me about a month back and told me all about his girlfriend Sydney and how he was planning to propose to her. We went over the plan on the phone a couple of time and figured out how we were going to pull it all off and what can I say.. it was PERFECT! Sydney was in tears, I was in tears, we all were in tears and it was amazing!

Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of your surprise friends! Hope to work with you two in the future!

Here’s what they had to say about their experience:

Ariel was awesome to work with. She went along with my crazy proposal and helped me out to make the day perfect. She was very creative with our pictures. 10/10 would recommend using her for any photo shoot. - Nick

It was great time working Ariel. Excited to see our surprise engagement photos back. Was very creative with all the poses for the photos. - Sydney
