In November, I found myself hiding in the bushes waiting for Ryan and Alice’s Marginal Way proposal. Ryan had a plan to propose to Alice while they were in town visiting Alice’s family for the Thanksgiving holiday. The plan was set, and all I needed to do was to wait for Ryan and Alice to show up. Ryan picked a spot near the Ogunquit Museum of Art, and a short walk from Perkins Cove. At the appointed time, they wandered down to the coast, and Ryan took a knee. Of course, Alice said yes, and both their families showed up for a champagne toast! Following, Alice, Ryan and I spent a little time along Marginal Way and at Perkins Cove for portraits. It was so much fun, and I wish them all the best as they begin their wedding planning. A few favorite images from their proposal and portraits below…
