Rachael and James: A Magical Surprise Proposal

by Amy Serrago

Savannah, of Savannah Avril Photography, describes her weekend exploring Quebec City with James and Rachael as nothing short of magical. A self described “travel bug”, Savannah was thrilled when she got a call from James asking if he could fly her to Quebec to photograph Rachael and him as they toured the historic city. Even more thrilling, was the prospect of capturing the exact moment that James would surprise Rachael with a marriage proposal. Savannah and James chose a beautifully colorful street in the heart of Old Quebec and asked Rachael to pose for a portrait. While she was looking at the camera, James got down on one knee behind her and pulled the ring from his pocket. When Savannah asked Rachael to turn around to shoot from a different angle, there was James. Pledging his eternal love, with ring in hand. Of course, she said yes! And so, the travelogue became an engagement shoot. We are in love with these gorgeous images of an adorable couple exploring a truly magical city.
