Jay reached out to me a couple months ago, excited to book a Smoky Mountain session for an upcoming trip with her boyfriend. Within a couple hours, I received a message from Will asking if I could help him plan the perfect proposal for her!
Ironing out the details was easy since Jay was already expecting to take photos. We agreed on a plan to catch her totally off guard, and all he had to do was “act natural” for the next several weeks to pull it off. (No pressure, right? haha)
Will wanted to make the moment extra special so he asked if I could bring a bouquet of flowers to surprise Jay with. I sent him photos of every option to make sure he was able to select ones she would love.
When it was photo session time, Will and I pretended it was our first time chatting. When I said the code word, he got on one knee to pop the question. The proposal went seamlessly and she had the sweetest, tear-filled reaction! I made sure the camera was rolling so they could watch the moment over and over!
Hi friends, I’m Kandace!
I’m a Kansas City gal who relocated to East TN in 2022.
I’ve specialized in weddings, branding and lifestyle portrait photography since I began my career nearly a decade ago.
After spending the last two years exploring the mountains and documenting memories with my husband, I became a licensed Great Smoky Mountain National Park photographer so I can capture locals and travelers who want to photograph their time in Smokies just like us.
