"The Photographers"

Posted by JOS SMITH
So there I was... in the middle of photographing a concert and who is asked to appear on stage? Martina is pulled through the audience, brushes past me with a smile and suddenly is put stage center. Who appears? Noah... with a shinning ring. As a lifestyle/wedding photographer I couldn't help but post this great "moment." Hat's off to Martina and Noah. Yes! Click through the images and see the sequence of actions in this sweet moment.
Here is a series of Noah's thoughts while asking Martina to marry him on stage! Noah states:
...trying desperately to get Martina in position front row and not seem conspicuous about it...
She is to be chosen "at random" as a volunteer for their next act. She has no idea what's about to happen.
I'm backstage, more nervous than I've ever been in 23 years of performing.
a million butterflies swarmed my chest and I had to kneel down... forgot what I was planning to say... come on angels, help me feel my feet. It's time.
....here goes everything....
"Martina Elisabeth Oskarsson, I have loved you madly since the first day we met"
the audience begins to react , as many of her friends have been clued in to what was going to happen tonight.
"I truly believe that you were sent to me by special angels" (referring to my grandmother and mother) "and anyone who has ever known you, knows that YOU are an angel."
"...and I just have one question for you..."
and then, Martina, clown of beauty and timing that she is, leans over to the microphone and says "yes, it is your baby."
.......... and everybody laughs hysterically.
down on your knee !" someone shouts from the crowd.
-and we are back in it for the finale-
" Will You Marry Me ? "
...can you guess what she said next?
You are the best Jos ! You're timing is impeccable. Amazing that you just happened to be there shooting already. Couldn't have planned it better if we tried. Guess I don't have to look far for our wedding photographer. How's that for irony..... hahaa
"i think she said yes !"
...never felt so blissed in my life as this....
love is ALWAYS in the air
Thank you yard dogs for making this enchanted golden moment possible, and for building towards and framing it so magnificently. To have nina simone's "feeling good" come on next (which was my mother's favorite song) with the beauty that you all create with that piece.... was ... a dream come true... well.... more like several dreams come true all ...
