It’s Friday morning and I am out walking my dogs when my phone rings with a very excited Sally on the other side! Sally is my friend and photography buddy, her brother is going to propose to his girlfriend on that very night and she asks me if I would like to photograph the event…Without even thinking I accept on the spot!
What an honour and a challenge to capture such a wonderful moment without being spotted by the lovely Jen.
Later on in the afternoon I make my way to the venue to work out my plan of action. The Kensington Roof Gardens is such a perfect venue for the occasion.
I patiently wait for ‘the moment’ while a savour a nice lemonade and a delicious mix of nuts at the bar, courtesy of the kind Babylon’s staff.
It’s all too exciting and I feel like a secret agent on a mission!
The moment finally arrives and it is all so romantic and electrifyingly exciting and I don’t know how I manage to capture every expression and emotion. It has been a wonderful experience and I am extremely grateful to having been part of it.
Thank you Sally for entrusting me to document this very important occasion and thank you so much for Joe and Jen for the experience! You are gorgeous!
OMGosh Cristina, these are utterly gorgeous! Mum and I teared up at the expression on Jen’s face when Joe got down on one knee and she realised what was happening!!! Thank you so, so much darling, you are wonderful. Lots of love, Sally xxxx
Ahhhh I love it!! I love how you were undercover and then Jen’s face when she realises you were there !!! Nice one agent Rossi!!
