A proposal in Amsterdam: photographing an unexpected but special moment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few minutes before Burger went down on one knee for Sammi, he asked me if I had ever photographed a proposal in Amsterdam. I was a little startled, because I had only communicated with Sammi via email. We did have a video chat with the three of us before the love shoot, but I had actually never spoken to Burger one-on-one. While Sammi was walking to a spot where I had pointed her out for a few solo portraits, Burger informed me about his unexpected but brilliant plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a matter of milliseconds to get that one shot just right\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A proposal in Amsterdam and I get to capture it on film. How romantic do you want it to be? It was cold in Amsterdam that day, but that shouldn\u2019t dampen the (pre-)excitement. We started this love session at the Rijksmuseum<\/a>. If you ask me, one of the most photogenic buildings in the capital. The beautiful round arches and columns form such beautiful lines. Additionally, the busy bike traffic gives the museum a lovely urban feel, with people coming and going. It\u2019s a matter of milliseconds to snap that one shot, without anyone being in the way of Burger and Sammi. These are rare moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe had absolutely not seen it coming\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We continued our walk through the streets of Amsterdam, which were wonderfully winterlike. We arrive at a bridge and Burger gives me the signal that we had pre-cooked beforehand. I hold my camera in my hand and Burger kneels down. Sammi turns around and reacts surprised. She had not seen this coming at all! Lots of hugs and kisses on Burger\u2019s forehead, mouth and cheeks follow. I think this is a resounding yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That feeling is completely confirmed when I see Sammi waving around with her hand so proudly like a peacock. She is engaged! Her enthusiasm was so endearing that I almost forgot to take this ultimate love shoot of photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving your engagement photos professionally taken is a super original idea\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A beautiful conclusion to a special love shoot in Amsterdam that ended with an engagement proposal. And now I hear you thinking: \u201cIs that really Burger?\u201d Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s not his real name but everyone calls him that. Sammi and Burger are from China and there are very few people who can pronounce his name properly. That\u2019s why he chose the name Burger himself, a bit like an inside joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
