Elizabeth and Rhys’ Proposal in Antarctica

I have been waiting a long time to share these photos here on my blog and today I finally can because they were just posted on Huffington Post!

As a wedding photographer I’ve had the opportunity to photograph many
love stories, but my favorite is without a doubt my sister’s.  My sister, Elizabeth, and her fiancé, Rhys, met seven years ago at a
nightclub in the Meatpacking District and have been inseparable ever
since. Over the last seven years I’ve watched them make a home together
with their dog in New York City. I patiently waited for him to pop
the question to her and make it official. I always secretly hoped I’d
get to see the proposal in person.  My family loves to travel and last December we took a trip down to
Antarctica with National Geographic over the holidays.  On New Year’s
Day Rhys knocked on my door and asked if he could talk to me. He told
me that he’d like me to come on a hike with them so I could take some
photos at the top of them together.  My response? “That’s annoying, I don’t want to take the hike. Make
someone else do it.” He started to look a little anxious and told me
that I was the only one who could do it because I have the skills for
it.  Suddenly it clicked that he wanted me to photograph their proposal
and I started crying like a baby. I managed to pull myself together and
make it up the mountain without giving it away. I’ve photographed
dozens of proposals, and I have never seen a reaction quite like my
sister’s- it was an amazing moment!  Check out the full story as told by my sister and Rhys on Huff Post!
