A spontaneous trip that lead to a Sekrit Theater secret proposal? Sounds like the perfect start to a new life journey!

Meet the Happy Couple

Living in Minnesota, Jason and Emily met during Covid times. And it’s been an amazing whirlwind romance ever since.

Emily loves to travel. Jason is not a planner. But Jason decided to plan a spontaneous trip to Austin, Texas. Then, he decided this was the perfect opportunity to propose to Emily.

A week prior to proposing, Jason reached out to me to help plan and organize the proposal. He originally wanted to propose in front of an Austin TX mural (like the “I Love You So Much” or “You’re my Butter Half” walls), but after chatting a bit, he fell in love with the idea of the Sekrit Theater and how “Austin-like” it is. Plus, logistically, it was a lot more simple and less crowded!

Sekrit Theater Secret Proposal

The time finally came for Jason’s Sekrit Theater secret proposal. As I sat, drinking my coffee, pretending to just be enjoying the “museum” (that’s what Jason told Emily they were going to visit), they arrived.

With their backs turned, I pulled out my camera from under my coat and began shooting:

Jason took a minute to find the ring that was hidden inside his coat …

Out came out the signature Tiffany box!

The ring didn’t quite fit Emily’s ring finger. That’s how you know it was a real surprise! Luckily, it fit on her pinky so we were still able to take photos of her with her ring!

The right photo: when Jason told Emily that I was there specifically for their proposal! One of my favorite pictures ever!

After allowing a few moments for them to enjoy their new relationship status, we began shooting the engagement portion of their session:

Still in disbelief, Emily couldn’t contain her excitement for both the proposal and her new Tiffany ring!

The moment when Jason tells Emily how he took her parents to the restaurant where he and Emily had their first date to ask for her hand:

Before these two arrived, my Jason and I were able to gather the letters to spell out their names:

I absolutely adore how much they love each other and how playful they are!

Congratulations!

A huge cheers to this fun couple on their engagement! And a huge congrats to Jason for being able to pull off this epic Sekrit Theater secret proposal!

I’ll be out of the country when they say their “I do’s” in Minnesota but I look forward to seeing all their beautiful wedding photos when I return!
