Kristine Paulsen Photography – Lifestyle Portraits, Editorial and Wedding Photography in Missoula Montana

Just a quick little bloglet posting right now because I’m just so darn happy!  I had the most wonderful opportunity to photograph Aaron and Melissa’s engagement – as it was happening!  Aaron drove from Idaho to Missoula to propose to Melissa – but not just in any old way.  He was dressed in his EMT uniform, holding a colorful flower and ring box, and waited for her to finish up with her last class of the day in the Education building at the University of Montana.

As she walked out the door, she saw him and was completely surprised and a little worried because she didn’t quite know what was going on.  But soon enough, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him – and she said Yes!!!  The reactions of the surrounding students were pretty awesome, too.  The guys were grinning and the girls were oohing and awwwing.  I don’t think there was a person there without a big old smile on their face.

This was just so, SO sweet and I am so happy I got to photograph this special moment between the two of them.  As Melissa said, “I’m in shock!  I can’t even remember what happened!”  Aaron’s response: “We have photos!”

If you’re reading this Melissa and Aaron, congratulations again!  I can’t stop smiling and am so very happy for you!
