Category Archives: Proposal

It was just around this time last year when I first met Beverly and John to discuss their upcoming photo session.  Little did John know I met with Beverly a few weeks prior to plan her sweet, surprise proposal to him.  It took all of my willpower to contain my excitement for these two!  It was so evident that day meeting them that the love and affection they have for one another was incredibly infectious.  Fast forward to photo session day aka Beverly’s proposal day! Beverly picked out the spot inside Harrison Brother’s Hardware in downtown Huntsville, a place the two of them have fond memories of and frequent often.  She set up a table inside, and upon that table lied a book, a book filled with keepsakes telling their story — movie date nights, concerts, dreams. I have to quote Beverly on this: “Bound within this book are the keepsakes that tell our story. Movie date nights. Concerts. Dreams. Memories of Memories. The times we’ve shared snuggled in the comfort of each other. All the little things that remind us of us. Every page reveals a new adventure. Are you ready to begin the next chapter?”  Let’s just say John was beyond surprised!  Their proposal story in pictures below 🙂

What better way to celebrate than at Sam & Greg’s Pizzeria & Gelateria!

Congratulations again, Beverly and John!!  I’m thrilled to have shared in such a sweet moment between the two of you and can’t wait for your wedding day this September!

2016.  You were incredibly memorable in more ways than one.  This year marked five years from when I started Lauren Tomasella Photography.  With that milestone, came a year of reflection.  While it’s been quiet on the blog, as well as social media, there’s been lots behind the scenes and a hope of mine in 2017 is to share a bit more about those endeavors!  I felt it was necessary for me to take a look back at 2016, and to highlight some of my favorite moments.  With each year, I grow more fond of photography and the ability to capture such precious memories for others, who begin to feel more and more like family and welcome me with open arms.  Thank you for allowing me to continue what I love to do most  ❤️  A glimpse at this year’s past featured below 🙂

I don’t even know where to begin with these two!  They make me so happy.  This entire time while putting together their blog post, I could not stop smiling!  And yes, I may have teared up reliving it all!  Last Thursday, Chelsea, Jason and I and their two pups, Riley and Sophie, got together for a “pet session” (so Chelsea thought!).  In reality, Jason had been planning a proposal and envisioned this to be the perfect opportunity.  Everything went to plan, and Jason pulled off the perfect proposal, with the help of their dog Riley :).  Chelsea was so surprised and her reaction was priceless.  That smile didn’t come off her face the entire time!  It just got brighter and brighter!  Congratulations you two!

So happy and so honored to have shared in this special moment.  Wishing you two all the best!!!!  Congratulations!  And happy wedding planning!!! 🙂 🙂
