Matt completely surprised Marisa with a proposal at the local botanical garden. Her sister, who was in on the plan, urged her to get a manicure and dropped her off to meet with Matt for a beautiful weekend stroll. In a secluded spot near the prehistoric gardens, Matt had set up a small picnic blanket and a photographer — me! I love hiding in plain sight; I shot photos of the dinosaurs (not real) and trees (definitely real) as Matt settled Marisa on a stone bench and read her a letter about how much he loved her. There were tears and giggles and hugs and smiles. Best wishes to the happy couple :)
