Chris and Tara Get Engaged!

January 25, 2021

Wendy Wild Photography

A few months ago as I was just starting to get things rolling with my photography, my good friend Tara asked if I’d be available to do her sister’s maternity shoot. The concept was SO cool: Melissa lives and works with horses on a beautiful piece of property (so I had been told.)

As the date of the shoot was approaching, I asked Tara if we could schedule some time to scope out the property to see where we would ideally like to shoot, see how the light hits, etc… and then things got exciting.

Hearing that we would be headed to this beautiful piece of property to meet Tara and her sister, Tara’s partner (and one of our other besties), Chris jumped at the opportunity.

Eric and I almost died with excitement for these two. Then the plan went into action: Chris coordinated with Melissa, so that when they were done horseback riding, he would be there hiding in the backyard area waiting with the ring. OMG.

Now from a photography perspective, surprise proposals aren’t the easiest, for the obvious reason: one party has no idea what’s going on. We got there early and had a practice run with Eric standing in for Tara, praying the plan would go off without a hitch.

We thought this would be a good spot.

What a romantic moment it was! Just beyond beautiful… Tara, who is not easily surprised truly didn’t expect a thing. We were so thrilled to be a part of such a special life moment.

Here’s how the rest of the shots came out:

No music, no fancy edits, no class. Just a little No music, no fancy edits, no class. Just a little gracious outside silks training with my good friends at @iflytrapeze. I love it here. 
There’s something about being outside in the fresh air up on the aerial silks. And for me being able to experience this place in a whole new way. Today I decided to revisit a few older sequences and piece them together. I’m still not quite getting the arm switch after the split because I feel like I don’t have a great grip, but there’s always next time. 

As for how my elbow and my joints are doing? Bizarrely able to support my weight. It’s things like picking up a water bottle (?) or wrapping my leg for a ‘catchers’ that gives me the ouchy zings, so I’ve been working around that as best as I can . . Rheumatology appointment on Monday!

Congratulations Paulie & Laura! 🎉🍾 When Paul Congratulations Paulie & Laura! 🎉🍾
When Paulie reached out about photographing his surprise proposal at the breathtaking Planting Fields Arboretum, I was beyond excited—
and a little nervous (I’m terrible at keeping secrets!).

We pulled off what might go down as one of the most epic surprise proposals ever.
I may not have actually worn a fake mustache while hiding in the bushes (😂),
but the real surprise? About 30 friends and family secretly gathered nearby to witness this unforgettable moment.

Cheers to the beautiful couple! It was such a joy to spend time with you and your incredible circle. 🥂💍✨
