LEXIE & CORY
A Heartwarming Surprise Proposal at Park Güell, Barcelona
This story is one of the most touching I’ve had the honor to capture. Lindsay, Lexie’s sister, contacted me months before their visit to Barcelona with a special request: she wanted to coordinate a surprise proposal for her sister and brother-in-law.
After discussing options, I shared my favorite spots in Barcelona for an afternoon photo session. Lindsay chose the iconic Park Güell as the perfect location for this unforgettable moment. We planned everything carefully, agreeing that I would approach them at the park and offer to take a group photo. This would be the cue for Lindsay to hand Cory the engagement ring so he could propose.
When the moment arrived, Cory went down on one knee, presenting Lexie with a deeply meaningful engagement ring—one that had belonged to Lexie’s late mother and had been resized just for her. Lexie was overcome with emotion: surprise, joy, and tears of happiness filled the air as she said yes.
After the proposal, we continued with their engagement photo session, capturing their love and happiness in the stunning surroundings of Park Güell.
Capturing this magical moment was truly unforgettable. The love and thoughtfulness behind the proposal made it a story filled with heart and beauty.
