We love shooting engagements but are rarely privilege to take part in that moment when a man asks his one and true love to become his co-pilot on the adventure we call life. So we were incredibly nervous and excited to accompany Jesse and Courtney on a beautiful sail boat excursion where Jesse would ask Courtney one of the most important questions of his life. It was to be a total surprise for Courtney so it took a lot of planning on Jesse’s part to allow all of us onto the boat without hinting at what was to come.
The day was absolutely perfect. The sometimes rare December sun not only graced us with its presence but warmed up the day nicely taking off the chill we expected on the sail boat. After a short dingy ride out to the boat, our experienced Captain Robert hoisted up the anchor, let loose the sails and tacked us into the wind and out to the Silver Strand.
The first part of our sailing adventure was topped with Jesse and Courtney’s proposal, which went off smashingly. The second half of the trip became photo time! Captain Robert was just fantastic and unhooked the zodiac from the ship and took Brett out on the water to get some breath taking shots from afar. I think they had almost as much fun zooming around on the water as Jesse and Courtney had watching the world from the bow of the boat. Thanks Jesse and Courtney for entrusting us with your special moment, it was so amazing to capture your first day as an engaged couple. Also without a boat it would have been all of us floating around in a kayak so a big thanks to Capt. Robert for helping to make this all happen. We loved sailing on your beautiful boat the Babayaga.
