\"Man<\/figure>

Holly takes a film camera on every trip, and Rafael wanted her to remember this one for good. So on a summer day in early July, he planned a proposal on the Spiegelgracht, the short canal that runs straight toward the Rijksmuseum.<\/p>

To Holly, it was simply a summer photoshoot on their trip from the US. Rafael booked one of my couple photoshoots in Amsterdam<\/a> from an inbox Holly doesn’t share, and I sent him a map to the bridge.<\/p>

A bridge on the Spiegelgracht, then the quiet streets nearby<\/dd>

Early July, a bright summer day<\/dd>

Proposal Photoshoot<\/a> with the Analog Photofilm add-on<\/dd>

Bright summer daylight under soft clouds<\/dd><\/dl><\/div>

The Proposal on the Spiegelgracht<\/h2>

The bridge has flower boxes full of red and white petunias, and at the end of the canal, the towers of the Rijksmuseum<\/a> rise above the trees. I was already in place when they walked up. Rafael caught my eye, stopped by the railing and went down on one knee.<\/p>

The Spiegelgracht, the Rijksmuseum at the end of the canal<\/figcaption><\/figure>

Holly’s hands flew to her mouth, and Rafael just grinned up at her.<\/p>

\"Her<\/figure>

Then came the yes, a long hug and a few happy tears against his shoulder. Meanwhile, I kept my distance, so the moment stayed theirs.<\/p>

\"Laughing<\/figure>

Rafael needed a moment too. Soon after, Holly held out her hand to show me the ring, with his arm around her.<\/p>

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

A Ring and a Letter<\/h2>

Up close, I photographed their hands against the flowers: an oval diamond on a thin gold band, still new on her finger.<\/p>

\"Their<\/figure>
\"Close-up<\/figure><\/div>

Rafael had also brought a letter, written at home for his proposal on the Spiegelgracht. Holly would read it later, sitting on the grass in the park.<\/p>

\"The<\/figure>

Through the Quiet Side Streets<\/h2>

From the bridge, we wandered into the side streets. Holly took Rafael’s hand and pulled him along, laughing.<\/p>

\"Hand<\/figure>

In the middle of an empty street, he dipped her back like a dancer.<\/p>

\"In<\/figure>

By a red front door, Holly touched his cheek, and he smiled at her as if he still couldn’t believe it.<\/p>

\"By<\/figure>
\"He<\/figure><\/div>

Someone had drilled a small heart of holes into that same red door. So I photographed her hand with the new ring right beside it, and a little later with a purple flower.<\/p>

\"Her<\/figure>
\"Her<\/figure><\/div>

Stone Steps and Old Doors<\/h2>

We stopped on the stone steps of old canal houses. In front of two tall black doors, Rafael kissed her, and a few houses on, they sat close by a curled iron railing.<\/p>

\"A<\/figure>
\"He<\/figure>
\"Wider<\/figure><\/div>

Next to these digital photos, I shot a roll of color film that day in a park full of hydrangeas, and those frames have their own story<\/a>.<\/p>

Back to the Canal After the Proposal<\/h2>

For the last frames, we went back to the canal. On a bridge over the water, Holly leaned into Rafael and looked into the lens, and then they kissed.<\/p>

\"On<\/figure>

Finally, they walked off past red and white striped awnings, hand in hand among the summer crowd. Within 7 days, the digital gallery of their proposal on the Spiegelgracht was ready.<\/p>
