Quirky Sword Proposal at Fallon Park in Raleigh with Julia & Luke
A Quirky Proposal with a Sword at Fallon Park in Raleigh with Julia & Luke
I’ve had the honor of being present for so many different proposals. But none has ever been as quirky as this one.
Julia approached me to capture her sword proposal to her partner Luke earlier in the year and just wanted someone to be able to get documentary photos of the moment at Fallon Park.
Her vision for this moment was to create Luke’s lifelong dream of being proposed to with a sword in the beautiful gazebo in the park. A private and heartfelt moment that would perfectly encapsulate their goofy relationship.
Other than a shared love for Dungeons and Dragons, Julia shared with me that the couple also makes mead and share a dog.
On the day of, their mutual friend helped set up the Gazebo and I waited for them to arrive to the scene and the presentation and proposal were quite everything. Afterwards, I asked them to pose and create some poses resembling Luke as the knight in shining armor to Julia’s dreams.
It is definitely a proposal I won’t be forgetting anytime soon. I love when couples are able to be comfortable and want to share parts of themselves with me that no one else gets to see. It’s one of my favorite parts of the job.
