Miah and Stone have been together since MIDDLE SCHOOL, and now they’re engaged!
A few years after I did Stone’s high school senior portraits, Stone and I met up in downtown Greenville to make a plan for him to propose to Miah. We ended up choosing a spot right in front of the Reedy River Falls, below the Liberty Bridge. There were a ton of people walking around on that Saturday, so we decided to choose a weekday, and set the date for just two days later. The date was close enough for us to see the hourly weather forecast, which was about 80 degrees and partly cloudy—about as nice as you can ask for in July.
When I arrived to the spot we chose, I texted Stone to tell him there was another photo session happening in that spot, so he asked Miah if he could show her a different spot. By the time they came back around, most of the people had cleared away, so Stone walked her right to where the prettiest view was and asked her to marry him. I was sitting on a bench right there and got it all on camera!
We spent the next half hour or so walking through downtown Greenville and taking photos in our favorite spots. There was a performance of Othello happening not too far away, so we got to hear bits and pieces of that during the session. It was a beautiful evening and we couldn’t have asked for better weather in July.
