It was a rainy day in Portland when Jaydeep popped the question to Priya at Lan Su Chinese Garden. After several days of romantic surprises from afar, the out-of-state groom-to-be surprised his bride by flying into town and arranging an engagement session in a truly gorgeous location. Erica Ann Photography was the one who captured it all, and you’ve got to read the whole story from her:

Jaydeep lives out of state, so for over a week he arranged special surprises for Priya every day. One day he spoiled her and her best friend with manicures, one day he sent her 10 dresses… I’m not sure what happened every day, but you get the idea. And it was all leading up to the last day with a professional photoshoot for Priya! Except what he really did was fly here to surprise her with a proposal in the rain (well, more of a rain effect with water rolling down the rooftop – but still very romantic!) He even hired Lora, with Sophisticated Floral Design to make Priya a blush and coral floral crown, a matching boutonniere for himself and gorgeous floral columns!

Of course she said YES! And we took a stroll around the gardens and then down to the Portland waterfront when the trees were all in beautiful bloom!
