Joelle & Scott’s Engagement from Martin Reinhardt and The Yes Girls.

A little bit of beach, custom wine label promises, and a journal to jot down 365 reasons he loves being married to her (for after they say “I do”) made for one glorious day under the sun!

Love,

A few photos of the set up, details, and engagement pics! Derek and I got to work right away so no surprise was ruined.

Family and friends wrote sweet words for the back of every puzzle piece.

It’s game time! …

And…

It’s safe to safe California and Alabama feel like two different worlds so to cure some of Lesley’s homesickness, Derek surprised her with a marriage proposal catered around home sweet home. That morning she woke up to one of her favorite things, a scavenger hunt around their new home! We found the perfect spot to complete the proposal, a lagoon that totally had the “feel” of Alabama! Whether it was the sweet tea in mason jars, their nicknames on straws, her personally signed Paula Dean cookbook, the Roll Tide pom poms or the puzzle with letters from her family and friends on the back of each puzzle piece, she finally started to feel at home and create a memory she would NEVER forget in California. There was so much thoughtfulness I can barely contain how giddy I was for her! Sara Field Photography brilliantly captured the details and emotions from this amazing marriage proposal while I filmed little bits on her Flip cam (hence my shaky hand). Our favorite part was secretly watching Lesley assemble the puzzle while hysterically laughing/crying (happy tears of course) as she read the sweet notes from Derek and her family; it was hard not to laugh along with her! Just as Lesley finished assembling the photo puzzle, she looked around frantically for the final piece, which Derek came up from behind and added for her…the photo of her engagement ring!

After a few engagement photos and watching a special video from her family, Lesley and Derek headed off to Napa for a full day of wine tasting, dining and a stay at the adorable Hennessy House B&B! From the moment she woke up to the second she laid her head down to sleep, Lesley was overwhelmed with surprises and the most romantic day in her life! Congrats again love birds!

Love,

Many girls daydream about their futures… their first kiss, their dream job, their proposal, their wedding, their family, etc. One of the proposals we helped plan, the guy loved both ideas we brainstormed but decided to go with another idea, which brings us to our styled shoot. It’s a styled proposal based on a true couple and love story. We thought, why not show guys just what it means to personalize and bring a marriage proposal idea to life with The Yes Girls as your behind-the-scenes secret weapon?!

Just like many girls, Audrey LOVES to daydream about their future. Ben’s goal is to help make those dreams a reality. Everyone has their own dreams. These are Audrey’s: have a family with Ben, build an orphanage in the village she visits every summer, write a book (always wanted to be an author) but of course she needed one dream to come first…her engagement! Grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile because thanks to Chard Photographer, this dreamy proposal shoot (pun intended) will warm your soul. I’m ALL about the details so I hope this styled shoot illustrates just that; we truly believe the tiniest touches of thoughtfulness can change everything. We couldn’t have done this shoot without our amazing models/couple Jaya and Garret. They are a couple in real life so if you are wondering why they are so darn cute together, that’s why! **They did not get engaged that day, but were great actors and models!

We noted special elements under photos below that tied the proposal together, as well as DIY’s we created.

We created the dream sign by spraying painting the wood letters, bought pillow stuffing from Joanne’s, glued the stuffing onto a cardboard box to create the cloud. We hung the dream cloud above to add the “dot dot dot” to create a “daydream bubble” above the hammock bed; the “dot dot dot” was made from pillow stuffing and clear ornaments. The clouds to the right of the sign we’re also DIY project. We hot glued the stuffing onto white paper lanterns, layered the stuffing, and pulled it apart to give the cloud like effect.

The three pictures above represent her three dreams: to start a family, write a book and build an orphanage. Another small detail we added were words of affirmation; Ben picked the words that he felt describe Audrey. Another personalized touch!

For the presentation of the engagement ring, we used a silver tray filled with clouds as if it were floating amongst the scene. Since the proposal was based around Audrey’s perfect daydream, we needed to make sure when it came to the ring and engagement, she knew “this was not a dream.”

To prove one of our highly recommended proposal tips (having a photographer at your proposal), we’re sharing some engagement pictures Rich took right after the “proposal” during the styled shoot. Thankfully we have one-of-a-kind proposal packages that allow you to book our services and a photographer at a discounted price. The emotion is so fresh right after the proposal, the engagement/post-proposal pictures turn out amazing!

Love,
