Gamble on Love | Las Vegas Surprise Proposal

It’s time for Kelsey and Sara’s surprise engagement!! My favorite part of their inquiry was this line from Kelsey: “I met Sara 3 years ago and am SO ready to propose to her” and BOY am I ready, too! I love surprise proposals!!

Just in the last year, I’ve had lots of disguises to help one piece of a couple pull off a super-sneaky surprise proposal: Red Rock Photo Tour, photog for a big family get together, lovers and friends welcome dinner photographer, hotel promo photographer — I should be a freaking double agent by now! (Maybe I am already… you’ll never know! Muahahah!)

Here's how this super-sneaky surprise proposal went down:

On a family *gambling* trip to Vegas with Sara’s family, Kelsey booked a private craps table and clued in the select few key members of pulling this off that she planned to propose to Sara: Sara's sister and brother in law, and Sara's best friend Marissa (who wasn't even supposed to join this family vacay so it was a double surprise for Sara!) Everyone else? Blind as bats to what was about to happen – her parents included!

Meanwhile, I got to work crafting my super clever disguise and plan of action. As the “hotel promo photographer” I would approach their table, locate the targets, snap a few candid shots of innocent dice-rollers and fun-havers, before pulling everyone up for a group picture. After a few shots of the everyone, I’d say “oh Kelsey had her eyes closed, let’s take another one” then BAM! PROPOSAL! Yo-leven!

I love the looks on everyone’s faces when they realized Kelsey was proposing to Sara — it couldn’t have been more perfect! If you’re planning a surprise proposal like this, hit me up and I’ll dig through my box of fake mustaches and trench coats for my next sneaky disguise!

Yo-Leven!
