Tipi Surprise Proposal | Adriatica Village McKinney, Texas

I am so static to be sharing this tipi surprise proposal with you. I got contacted by Roshan a few days before the big day. He wanted me to capture the proposal and I was so happy to have been available to capture such a moment between him and his fiancé-to-be, Krishna.  When he told me his plans I got excited, but when he mentioned the tipi, I thought it was going to be truly romantic! Roshan had the help of his amazing family and friends, they helped him set up the tipi and adorned it with fresh flowers, pillows, blankets, a bar cart, and a picnic basket.

The beginning of the proposal was when Krishna was brought to Adriatica Village by her cousin. Naturally, we didn’t want her to know that he had hired a photographer as she was pulling in, so what we did was that I pretended to be photographing my brother’s “senior pics”. My cue to start shooting in their direction and to start following them to the beautiful tipi, which was going to be the beautiful backdrop for his proposal, was when Krishna got blindfolded. Roshan led Krishna to the tipi and hugged her, then he proceeded to take her blindfold off. As soon as she opened her eyes he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him! Krishna said “YES!” They hugged, but Roshan had one more surprise in store for her! He told Krishna to turn around and she caught a glimpse that both of their families were getting to witness the proposal.

In the next blog post I will share with you their engagement session portraits and more details of what made the tipi so special!

Here are a few of my favorite images from this tipi proposal.  

Enjoy, and until next time!
