Surprise Proposal Shoot- Pat and Hillary Voorhees, NJ

Earlier this week I got a message from my friend Shannon asking me if I would do a proposal shoot for she and her boyfriend George's friend Pat who was proposing to his girlfriend Hillary this Saturday. Now, of course I was up for it, because this would be my first proposal shoot, and something totally different from all the other shoots I have done. George and his friends helped Pat plan the proposal, and came up with the idea to have George call Pat and tell him that he wanted him to meet him out at the Main Street pub after dinner because he had an "imaginary" quarrel with his girlfriend Shannon. So, Pat planned a nice dinner over in Center City Philadelphia, stopped in a Martini bar and walked around Christmas village. Meanwhile, Austin and I had already arrived at the Main Street Pub to plan out where we were going to hide for their arrival. Needless to say, Pat was about 40 minutes late, and it was 36 degrees outside. Austin and I hid in the bushes and behind a fountain wall for over an hour waiting for them to arrive in the freezing cold. When they arrived, Hillary had absolutly no idea, and as soon as Pat started to get down on one knee, we popped out of our hiding spots and started shooting. At the same time, many of Pat's and Hillary's family and friends came out from the pub cheering and spraying champagne. Congrats Pat and Hillary!
