…a Boy owns said Bar + Barbershop.

Magic Glittery Super Special Love Ensues.

I was on my way home from a family session when my pal texted me “Come get a cocktail with me!”. It was one of those perfect evenings for sipping a drink outside in the most favorable kind of weather so obviously I agreed. Little did I know that I’d be walking into a surprise engagement party currently underway!

Anthony asked Meghan to be his forever lady in his bar + barbershop that he gave so much attention to detail to. My friends and I would frequent the spot regularly, so it was a delight to see such wonderful people experiencing this memorable moment at such a personal place.

I had brought in my point and shoot since I needed to finish off the roll to send out to my lab the next day. I proceeded to do what any good photographer would do…walk up in all my awkward glory and ask the newly engaged couple “I have half a roll left, would you like me to take your picture?”

As you can say, the rest is history.

Meghan has become a real staple in my life and dare I say, friend! She owns Dirty Bird, quite literally the best waxing place in Sacramento for some real self care time. It has been such a gift to have her rip my hair out ever since that chance encounter on such an eventful night!
