Franklin Park Conservatory Hot Shop LGBTQ+ Surprise Proposal: Justin + Zach

It was the first Saturday morning in August: Justin took Zach to a private glass blowing class at the Hot Shop at Franklin Park Conservatory! Zach was told I was just taking promotional photos for the Conservatory, so he didn’t think much as I snapped photos from afar during the class. They made a glass vase together, and at the end, stamped it with the words “Will You Marry Me?” Justin dropped to one knee, presented a ring, and in between tears, Zach said YES! We celebrated with more portraits in the biomes, and outside in the gardens too! Congratulations J+Z!

I aim to capture moments and expressions that tell the story of a day, and are authentic to the people involved. If you can look at a collection of images I’ve taken of a total stranger and get a feeling for who they are and what they felt, then I’ve done my job!
