Toronto Surprise Proposal Photography | Anthony & Allie

Anthony got in touch with me 7 months ago! He was looking for a Toronto proposal photographer and had plans to propose to his girlfriend Allie on a trip they were planning from Cleveland, Ohio, USA to Toronto.

The only caveat: While he wanted the proposal to be a complete surprise, he knew she’d want to change for a photo session afterwards. So, I helped him develop a plan.

The plan: They would check into their AirBnB, and as they entered the living room I would come out of hiding and photograph the big surprise! (Then they could change for more photos outside.)
You can tell from the photos that she was totally caught off guard – he got her good!

Apparently he threw her off completely just 3 days prior when he said he didn’t think they’d be getting engaged for at least another year – she believed him!

After a tearful & super joyful ‘YES!’ they called their parents who were in on the secret. Anthony’s mom had been so excited she emailed me before the session to ask if she could do something special for them. I suggested the idea of ordering a gift basket that could be delivered to my home and I’d bring it over for them. It was so thoughtful of her. And Allie’s mom worked extra hard to keep the surprise a secret (apparently a big feat for her!) and somehow managed to convince Allie to go with her for a manicure before their trip, even though Allie wasn’t into the idea at first. I how excited all their parents were!

This was super duper fun to be a part of, and I’m so happy for them!

Congratulations again, Anthony & Allie!
