You might remember Ollie and Tina from a shoot we had in Resida Point a year back. It has gone to be an annual photoshoot and this year, Ollie 
wanted to shoot in San Diego where they are now both based. But aside from that, Ollie saw the shoot as the perfect time to surprise Tina with his 
proposal AND have photo coverage of it because essentially, I was actually shooting them. 

The idea was that Ollie will have the ring (that one that he hid inside the computer CPU so no one can see it) with him during the shoot and as they
warm-up with the shots and poses, I will have Tina pose where she will have to turn around. I'll signal Ollie and he then kneels and proposes. Guess
what? It happened exactly that way. =) 

This is Metrophoto's very first proposal coverage and it was such a heartfelt and awesome experience to see one of my bestest buddy proposing and
having to see and capture all the love that they both share. =) With us during the shoot was our very good friends Juvy and Matt and of course my
family, Nina and Lance =) 

Enjoy the photos and relive the moment when Ollie finally proves to everyone that he's a man. hahaha! =) There is a video too, shot by Juvy posted 
at the bottom of this topic =)

We started out with a few poses. Slowly, I'm making Tina turn around.
Here are successive shots of Tina's expression as she turns around and sees Ollie kneeling down with a ring.
Before saying anything, she walks away. Tina: "oh my god!!!!"
Tina here finally looking back again at Ollie after almost walking away totally because of too much surprise. =) hahaha
Here are all of those in a different angle =) Great shots sweetie =)
It's a YES!
Tina: Is this a real diamond? hahaha
the rock! =)
Here's Juvy taking her own shot of the ring =)
YES! I'm a real man! hahaha
Ollie: Finally man! We did it. And there goes my 3-month salary. hahaha
Still cant believe it.

Of course we went on with the shoot of the now engaged couple. =)
