OK – I can’t wait to post this any longer. I’ve been so excited about this session for over a month. (Don’t worry. There will be a new post every day this week). Adam had contacted me regarding his plan to propose to his girlfriend, Chelsea, while on vacation at the beach and he wanted to have it captured by me. After my initial gushing over how romantic this whole idea was, we hatched a plan to have Adam “surprise” Chelsea with a portrait session which of course would eventually end in the proposal. Also helping Adam with the surprise was his family, especially his dad who secretly set up a picnic on the beach while we walked in the other direction.
So on Thursday I drove to Lewes, DE to meet Adam and Chelsea for their session. I’m not sure if Adam was nervous or not but he definitely didn’t let it show. These two are so completely in love with each other that capturing them was easy. We walked on the beach towards the lighthouse then turned around and walked back to about where we had started. The picnic was all set, complete with music and champagne. After they shared some food, it was time and Adam did not disappoint. But rather than have me explain, let’s let the images speak for themselves in my first ever blog slideshow.

We found this shell and thought it looked like a heart.
The exquisite ring.

Hey Cyndi,

My sister (Krista) told me to check this out this morning. It is AMAZING, I definitely got teary-eyed. Just wanted to let you know that you have truly been blessed with such creativity. Wish I would have had this for my engagement

This was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am so happy for my cousin Chelsea. I can only wish for a proposal like this one. You did an amazing job at capturing how happy and in love they are.
I do not know Adam or Chelsea but I am practically sobbing after watching their slide show. Beautiful! Good luck to both of you.
Cyn! You have done it again! You are so talented…this is just amazing!
Chelsea, Cousin Jake here. Wow, that was great. It brings back memories of when Veronica and I took our engagement pictures at Laguna Beach here in California…although we were already engaged. What your soon to be husband did for you was what I would call a “homerun”, “slamdunk baby”! That was good. I just heard of the news that you are engaged Chelsea and although I’ve never met your friend, now fiance; I can truly say that I share in your excitement, and I am happy for the both of you and what the future will hold for you. I can’t beleive you are getting married! Seems like just yesterday you were a little girl…don’t know how you grew up so fast! One thing I do know is I know your Mom would be so proud of you and so overjoyed by this new chapter your life is about to take…
Well, I look forward to meeting your soon to be husband one day soon…. Congratulations! This is awesome.
Love Your Favorite Cousin Jake, and Veronica.
You go Adam!!!!!! The pictures are amazing, the slideshow gave me goosebumps!!! This should definietly be in a bridal magazine. Congratulations Adam and Chelsea!!
Adam,
Justin (your favorite cousin) doesn’t want to admit it, but he’s secretly jealous of your obvious romantic charm in doing this for Chelsea. Very nice. Beautiful photography. Very touching. We are so happy for you both!
