This Boho Macrame Photoshoot Became the Best Surprise Proposal

This week, Samantha shared a few photos with me from her recent proposal.  You guys, this story is too good!  She won a photoshoot with Dakai Photography and her now fiancé contacted Dakai and planned the best surprise.  Take notes guys, this is such a great idea!!  To top it off, Uttu Design created the most incredible macrame backdrop for the shoot.

We are SO beyond excited for these two and couldn’t wait to share these beautiful memories.  Congratulations Samantha and Derek…welcome to Engaged Life and thank you for your service!  Feel free to reach out if you need any help planning your big day.

“Forever is a long time, but I wouldn’t mind spending it by your side.”
