The Proposal-Derrick and Kristi Engagement

On Friday, I was asked to be a part of a very special, and memorable occassion! Ive been friends with Derrick for 7 years and Kristi for 3, so when he called and told me that he was proposing, I just knew that I had to be there!! I wouldn't have missed it for the world! Derrick and Kristi met on March 18, 2008, while working on the same rodeo committee.  They were both having drinks at the Committeeman's Club, and well..the rest was history! So, Derrick decided to go back where it all started, and propose to Kristi exactly where he met her! My job? To hide behind a pole/sign, and capture the whole thing on camera without Kristi even knowing I was there! There were a few bumps in the plan, but Kristi was definitely surprised and ECSTATIC when Derrick got down on one knee!!

These photos did not turn out as great as I hoped for a few reasons- in my hurry and excitement I probably chose the wrong lens, AND I was shaking and crying myself the whole time!! But, hopefully I caught the emotion of the occassion!

Congrats to you both! I am SOOOOO excited for you, and can't wait for all the celebrating that lies ahead.  I knew long ago that this day would come, and Im so happy that you two found each other. Wishing you nothing but happiness! Thanks again for letting me apart of it all! Love you guys!
