Jayden and Ash met as many couples do now, online. Realising he could no longer imagine a life without her, Jayden reached out to Louise at Popped! Proposals and Events for help planning a romantic proposal at the Intercontinental, on North Terrace in Adelaide CBD
Jayden left a key at reception for Louise so she could set up the scene while they were off having a dinner-date. She brought in some incredible props, on-theme balloons, and some treasured, framed photos of the couple. I am sure this took a few trips, there was so much awesome stuff there to transform the couples hotel room.
A mini desert picnic, and gin cocktails were provided, as they had just had dinner. Proposing does make one feel a little peckish, after the nerves have settled of-course!
I arrived a half hour before the couple were due back at the room to set up photography lighting and a tripod to capture the whole thing on video. Louise waits by the door as she has just received word they are on their way up.
Ash is blindfolded so Jayden guides her to the centre of the room - decorated literally with love.
Okay, you can take off your blindfold. At first Ash doesn't register what is about to happen...
And then she sees the big "will you marry me sign" all lit up, and Jayden standing before her. There was definitely love in the air at this moment and the emotion was building.
Jayden drops to one knee and produces a ring box. He has a small speech prepared where he mentions how much his mother, who had recently passed adored Ash and how he has fallen totally in love with her over the somewhat short time they had been dating. He asks her "Will you marry me?"
Ash says: " YES "
Videoccasions and Popped! Proposals could not be happier for these two and we feel honoured to create and capture this memory for them.
We gave Jayden and Ash a little time to be alone together and then took some engagement photos at the beautiful Intercontinental Hotel. Those photos can be seen in my next blog.
Videoccasions is running a special on engagement photography until the end of January 2021 which can be also redeemed off the photography of a Popped! Proposals package also.
