A man named Ari contacted me a couple months ago with a genius plan to propose to his girlfriend and he wanted it to be photographed. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity…how exciting! It was to happen on March 28th, at the beautiful Phoenician Hotel in Phoenix, AZ. Both Ari and Paige (Events Coordinator at The Phoenician) came up with a flawless plan that would totally surprise his girlfriend. We all did several “dry runs” before she showed up to make sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. Here are some pics of the fabulous day.
Here are a few detail shots from the property. He proposed under a beautiful, secluded gazebo.

How wonderful! They will be able to show their kids this someday and what a story to tell. My favorite is the “thumbs up”. Great job, Keri!
