When Fred called me with a plan to spring a surprise engagement on his girlfriend Katie at a popular hot spot (Eleven) in Pittsburgh’s Strip District, I was thinking, okay no problem. Then I thought, how am I supposed to shoot this in a place likely to be filled with guests, most of whom will have no idea what’s going on and could wreck the entire gig? The answer was to become a photo-shooting sniper of sorts. Hiding in semi-plain sight, I managed to hit my targets. The tears flowed from Katie and she did not see this special moment coming. Following the successful eureka moment, friends gathered, champagne corks popped and the celebration was in full swing.
