A Wedding for the Weekend: A Surprise Engagement

Ok so our wedding for the weekend isn’t exactly a wedding but it is the first engagement shoot we have ever featured on Bespoke Bride and whats more its the engagement of two of our wonderful friends from across the pond. You may remember Toni as the beautiful model from the photoshoots we did at Yosemite back a few months ago and it was thanks to her now fiance Chad that the photoshoots went ahead in the first place.

Chads proposal was a complete surprise to Toni who thought she was doing a photoshoot to help out help out Chads sister, the wonderful Mariel from Mariel Hannah photography. Mariel asked her act as a ‘client’ giving information about what she would like from her portrait shoot including the location, the concept and even the outfits, little did she know she was actually setting up her own surprise engagement shoot.

The shoot took place at Huntington and Laguna Beach, where Mariel was able to catch the entire engagement. This truely is one of the most romantic shoots we have ever seen and we know how much you will enjoy seeing how this beautiful couples special day was captured.
