Yesterday we got to capture one of the sweetest surprise proposals ever! Liam, his friends Greg + Jen, and a total of 4 sweet pups lured his beautiful girlfriend Caitlyn to Lake Eola under the guise of a lunch for Liam’s work. Not only did Liam get on one knee and present her with a drop-dead gorgeous ring, he also had family and friends waiting at a nearby restaurant to celebrate with the newly engaged couple. So much joy in one afternoon. Congratulations you guys!

Interview with the gorgeous bride, Erica:
HOW DID YOU MEET? We met through friends, but then he used to come in to the Starbucks where I worked on his way to work. One morning after he left, I told my co-worker “I’m going to marry that man.” 5 minutes later the store phone rang, and it was him asking me out on our first date ☺
WHAT ATTRACTED YOU THE MOST TO YOUR HUSBAND? He looked like someone that I could understand, and who could understand me.
HOW DID HE PROPOSE? – In an art gallery ☺
WHAT INSPIRED YOUR VISION FOR YOUR WEDDING? – Crimson and classic.
TELL US ABOUT FINDING YOUR VENUE: – We wanted young, beautiful and different, we also love art, so we wanted the venue to be engaging for our guests.
WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST PLANNING CHALLENGE? – Navigating the families ☺
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE DESIGN ELEMENT OF YOUR WEDDING? – The Venue, and the florals!
DID YOU HAVE ANY DIY DETAILS? – I made the florals for my mother, grandmother and Ken’s mother in the bridal suite the night before the wedding.
WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF YOUR WEDDING DAY? – Ken clapping for me while I was walking down the aisle, it made me smile and I felt less scared.
DESCRIBE YOUR CAKE: – Ken designed that cake! I thought they would never be able to realize it, but they nailed it!
HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER? Amazing!!
WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND AS A COUPLE? – The best is yet to come ☺
