- Brad & Jill are a few of our besties.
- Jill's brother Craig loves a girl named Torie.
- Craig brought Torie to New York from out west.
- Jill & an entourage of lovely friends (Erin + me + Amy) took a dozen pink balloons onto the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge & handed them out to random people passing by, instructing them to give them to Torie & Craig as they walked across the bridge from Manhattan towards Brooklyn (balloon #1 was given to them by Jill's cousin, who knows Craig - but not Torie. The rest of the "volunteers" were instructed to give their balloons to the girl with the pink balloons).
- I followed them the whole way. With my camera. Since we've never met, Torie & Craig didn't notice me. I just looked like another tourist with a big lens.
- Craig asked.
- Torie said yes.
- I came home & kissed Mike. On the lips.

so sweet. awesome pictures.
That is very very cool. Nobody makes one appreciate love more than a newly engaged/married couple. Did the number of balloons have any meaning or just a bunch for fun? What a creative way to ask!
the ballons made those pictures so fun! Good job on the photography end!!
I love the photos! I'm so glad they'll have pictures of this. Good job!

That is the awesomest engagement story! How fun to be a part of the pink balloon brigade.

Thanks Kathryn. This almost made me feel like we were there. Jill's mom.
I love it! What a cute idea, and the pictures are amazing! By the way, I love that bridge :)
And you also make special standout moments look great too!! Seriously love your pictures! I felt like I was right there.
Maybe you should become a professional photographer... You are unemployed and obviously talented. Just sayin'.
Thanks so much for doing this for Torie and Craig. Craig is a very special young man and by the looks of it has family and friends that are very special too. These photos are will be treasured for a life time. Thanks again for making this engagement a memorable one.
