As I waited on the far side of the patio for Stephanie and Anna Grace’s same-sex surprise proposal at Hazy Mountain Vineyards, I noticed more movement than I expected. Every few minutes, one or two people would walk over. Someone brought a floral display. The next person walked over to adjust the floral display. After a few minutes another person came over, looked around, and approached me. “Are you here to photograph the proposal?” And I am so grateful that they did! I learned something in that moment that I wasn’t prepared for: a double proposal!

We had been working for weeks with Stephanie to set up their same-sex surprise proposal at Hazy Mountain Vineyards. But it was just moments before she got down on one knee that we learned something crazy. Anna Grace had proposal plans of her own! She had ordered a ring for Stephanie from Israel that — when it finally arrived — she carried with her everywhere. She was also waiting for her chance to surprise Stephanie with her own proposal! When they arrived, and Stephanie finally got down on her knee to propose, she had the most perfect surprise proposal of her own from Anna Grace. Surrounded by friends eager to celebrate, the sheer joy of the moment is impossible to describe!

Stephanie and Anna Grace,

We are so glad to have been a part of your proposal and the start of this next chapter in your relationship! We hope that these images forever remind you of the sheer excitement and joy from your joint proposal. It was obvious from our time together at Hazy Mountain that you two have a great community of friends. We hope that the next time you all gather together — to celebrate your wedding — there’s even more joy!

With love,
Sarah and Hunter
