Philadelphia Engagement Shoot by Reiner Photography: Dehondra + Lamar

Lamar didn’t have to do much window shopping to find his fiancée, Dehondra. From the moment he spotted her in the mall with one of her girlfriends he knew she would be on his long-term wish list. After introducing himself, the jokes and small talk led to him locking his number in her phone as “boo”. The two will officially become lifelong “boo’s” by taking their love to the next level this August 24th  in Philadelphia.

Read on for a few more details on how the groom-to-be  popped the question!

The stylish couple’s e-session was captured by Reiner Photography.

The Proposal
It was a Saturday evening in 2008 I was coming home from my best friends house. I arrived home to the house dim lite. I walked in the living room there were candles lite Lamar had cooked dinner. As I approached the kitchen he stopped me and smiled. I knew he was up to something. He said looks nice in here doesn’t it? I said yes. He asked me to grab something off the table where the candles were lit so as I approached that table I saw a box on top of a candle holder. My heart began to race. I opened the box and he said will you marry me. I cried and said yes. And kissed him and cried some more.

From the planner

[Dehondra and Lamar] are very stylish and up on the latest trends. Dehondra and I worked on creating a look for the styled engagement session. I than later chose to shoot at some of the trendy philadelphia hotels, such as “the hyatt at the bellevue” , worked with a professional make-up artist, and one of our preferred photographers. Wil will also be capturing their wedding day.
