\"Woman<\/figure>

Avery and Robin had talked about Amsterdam for years, and in February they finally flew over from the US. Robin thought it was simply a winter trip, but Avery had planned a secret proposal on the canals.<\/p>

I welcome all couples equally, and proposals like theirs are part of my couple photoshoots in Amsterdam<\/a>. Avery booked from an inbox Robin doesn\u2019t share. After her booking, I sent her a map to the bridge, a few preparation tips and some outfit ideas for a winter day.<\/p>

A bridge in the canal ring, two church spires far behind<\/dd>
When<\/dt>
February, a gray day with some sun<\/dd>
Session<\/dt>
Proposal Photoshoot<\/a><\/dd>
Light<\/dt>
Soft gray light, then a little winter sun<\/dd><\/dl><\/div>

Two Church Spires at the End of the Canal<\/h2>

I was already in position when they arrived. From the bridge, the canal runs straight toward two church spires, with bare trees on both banks. They walked up hand in hand, past an old lamppost and a row of gabled houses. To Robin, it was just another stop on their trip.<\/p>

\"Hand<\/figure>
\"Two<\/figure><\/div>

The Secret Proposal on the Canal Bridge<\/h2>

Avery caught my eye and waited for my signal. Halfway across, she stopped, took out the ring herself and went down on one knee. Robin looked down at her, smiling, as if she couldn\u2019t quite believe it. Then came the yes and a hug, nose to nose, with a new ring on Robin\u2019s hand.<\/p>

\"Closer<\/figure>
\"Nose<\/figure><\/div>

For a few minutes, they simply stayed on the bridge and looked at each other. Meanwhile, I kept my distance and let them have that moment.<\/p>

\"Smiling<\/figure>
\"Face<\/figure><\/div>

Amsterdam felt like the right city for this question: the Netherlands was the first country in the world to open marriage to same-sex couples<\/a>. By the old lamppost, in front of the gabled houses, they kissed, and the city simply carried on around them.<\/p>

\"Kissing

A Carved Door and an Olive Tree<\/h2>

After the yes, we went on with a relaxed walk nearby, as every proposal session does. On a quiet street, we found a carved wooden door the color of honey, a stone facade and an olive tree in a dark red pot.<\/p>

\"Kissing<\/figure>
\"Seen<\/figure><\/div>

For a few frames, I photographed them through the olive branches, so the leaves blur softly in front of the lens. Robin made Avery laugh, and the hug lasted a long time.<\/p>

\"A<\/figure>
\"Hands<\/figure>

Against the carved stone, they held on tight. Robin\u2019s hands rested on the cognac coat, with the new ring on her finger.<\/p><\/div>

Sunshine on the Stone Steps<\/h2>

Then, for a moment, the February sun came out. On the curved stone steps of a corner house, Robin wrapped her arms around Avery from behind, and both closed their eyes.<\/p>

\"Holding<\/figure>

A few doors on, we found the stairs of an old canal house with a black iron railing. Its tall windows reflected the whole street right beside them.<\/p>

\"Sitting<\/figure>

Avery leaned back and smiled with her eyes closed, while Robin held her close.<\/p>

\"On<\/figure>

After the Proposal, Down by the Canal<\/h2>

We ended at the water\u2019s edge. They sat down on the quay, held hands and watched a small boat glide under the bridge.<\/p>

\"Sitting<\/figure>
\"Holding<\/figure><\/div>

One last kiss faced the canal houses across the water. Then I crossed to the other side for a wide frame: the two of them on the quay wall, with a wooden boat moored in front.<\/p>

That same day also went on a roll of Kodak Pro Image 100, and those film frames have their own story<\/a>.<\/p>

Back in the US, that wide frame of their secret proposal on the canals now hangs above their sofa. Want to see how it works, step by step? Read how a surprise proposal shoot works<\/a>.<\/p>
