My brother Steven told me he was planning on proposing to his girlfriend Nicole. I was excited when he had decided to do it during a couple shoot with me.
We had to tell a few “white lies” to set up the shoot with Nicole and hoped I did not say anything to give it away. On the morning of the shoot Steven and I did a quick location scout to find the best spot and we decided on a key word for when I had all my settings ready so that he could ask her the big question “Will you marry me?”
On the afternoon of the 26th December 2013 we started the photo shoot. I took a few photos of them until we got to “the spot”. I went to the place where I wanted to shoot from and I gave Steve the go ahead. When he got down on one knee, I could see the surprise on Nicole’s face and the tears started rolling down my cheeks. I was so excited for the two of them. After she said YES, I gave them a few minutes to take it all in and then we opened some champagne to celebrate.
Congratulations Steve and Nicole. I love you guys so much. Enjoy the photos below.
I don’t know what to say, between the tears rolling down my face.
Congratulations Steven and Nicole. May there be many more happy years together.

Loved the photos and it was so special for Claire to be able to get a shot of when Steven actually asked Nicole to marry him. Congratulations to you all. Our daughter Amy and her partner Steve also got engaged but on Christmas eve. Continuing the tradition, because Trevor and I got engaged on Christmas Eve 1970!!!
WOW!!!!! stunning photographs, Claire. Steven, what an awesomely special way to propose to Nicole!! Made me go ice-cold looking at each of them, such a beautiful storyline of each stage of the proposal and engagement. Your Mom is so very proud and excited, with good reason!
My happiest wishes to you both for the future; an exciting year ahead of planning one of the most important days in a couple’s life, the day they join together in marriage.
