When Donald reached out to me about photographing his proposal at Amicalola Falls I was so BEYOND excited!
Amicalola is, in my opinion, one of the prettiest locations in North Georgia. And if you didn't know, it's also the tallest cascading waterfall in the Southeastern United States. One of the more popular spots to propose is on the main bridge following the hiking trail across the falls, but these two always dreamed of a cozier, more intimate moment, so Donald opted for a base of the falls proposal where there's much less foot traffic. There's a gorgeous spot that opens up on the trail about 5 minutes up the "Base of the Falls" path. I traveled up and got in place and right when these two arrived, I kid you not, a summer storm cloud came out of NOWHERE and absolutely poured on us. Thankfully I always have my rain cover in case of situations like this so I threw that on, crawled out of my hiding spot up a few rocks and started shooting! It was the sweetest proposal ever and she was so in shock and even joked that she was just telling him before the moment happened that they should stop and kiss in the rain. So freakin' sweet! The moment was absolutely giving The Notebook vibes and honestly, a rainy forest scene is SO dreamy. Thankfully we had umbrellas in the car that we ran down and grabbed to use for the rest of the session so everybody didn't get too waterlogged but right when we wrapped up it stopped raining LOL. Georgia weather...
I loved capturing this moment for these two, can't wait to see where their future takes them!
