Real Couples // Urban Riverside Engagement: Daniel + Cameron
/Daniel and Cameron are the type of couple every photographer dreams of! They love easily on each in front of the camera and are planning a stunning wedding for June of 2018. They met for the first time in 2014 at Columbia, South Carolina's Pride Festival, and Daniel proposed to Cameron while in Disney World together. They recently moved from Columbia to Ohio, but they will be coming back for their wedding day to celebrate with friends and family. These two men are so beautiful, both inside and out, and I hope you love these images as much as I do!
Daniel: "Cameron saw me at South Carolina Pride in 2014, and then he stalked and found me on Grindr of all places. (laughs) He said, 'I found you,' and I replied, 'Well now what are you going to do?' And he said, 'Take you to dinner.' He took me to Cantina 76 where we sat and drank, ate and talked for over three hours...it sealed the deal. I hugged him goodbye and our next date was three days later!
I proposed to Cameron at Magic Kingdom via caricature. Plans were for me to propose to him on our cruise we took via karaoke, but they only had karaoke the first night of the cruise, and we were at dinner during that time, so I missed my opportunity. When we arrived at Magic Kingdom after our cruise, I had his ring in my backpack and no clue how I was getting it on his finger!! After lunch we noticed a caricature artist, and Cameron was excited, as we had been wanting to do one! There were no appointments for a while so we walked away, but then I came back and booked the appointment and told them what I was planning: she was to draw me on one knee proposing. When the time arrived I was beyond nervous and fidgety; a crowd was gathering and Cameron asked the artist if crowds were common. She played along and said, 'Oh yes, it happens all the time!' When she was finished and turned the picture around, I was on one knee and asking the big question, while Cameron was confused as to his positioning in the picture...a few (what seemed like minutes) seconds later, he realized what was going on, and with tears in his eyes he said YES!!!"
