Benjy & Lauren | Surprise Proposal at Hotel Madrid in Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Photographer

Benjy’s best friend, Mike, is a friend of mine. Mike reached out to Devin & I on a Friday morning about Benjy proposing to his girlfriend, Lauren, that evening & wanting us to photograph it. Luckily, we just so happened to still be available!

Benjy planned a dinner with friends at Hotel Madrid in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He strategically planned to grab a beer with Lauren beforehand and to arrive at the restaurant about 30 minutes before the reservation. Amelia & the team at Hotel Madrid set up a little table in the outdoor eating section with these flowers & the ring set inside. Once they arrived, she walked them out for “cocktails” to wait for the rest of their party. Benjy immediately found the ring and got down on one knee! It was so sweet & adorable to photograph these two in this moment!

Ethan & Demri | Surprise Proposal | Milwaukee Proposal, Madison Proposal Photographer Videographer

Ethan contacted us about his plan to propose to his girlfriend in Madison. It was exactly a week after another proposal we photographed in Madison, but we were so excited to head back for another one! Ethan’s plan was to put a new dog tag on their new puppy that read “mom, can I be in the wedding?” and for Demri to notice that as they were taking the dog out right after Demri got off work.

Of course things don’t always go perfectly to plan, but it still worked out perfectly in its own way and thankfully the rain held off! They also had their parents in town for the weekend for everyone to officially meet. Demri was so shocked and it was seriously so sweet to witness & be a part of!

Enjoy, xoxo
