The Vickrey Proposal.

This story is a first for me....

Last Monday, we received a phone call from a gentlemen wanting us to photograph his proposal that was to take place on that Friday at one of Houston's finest restaurants, Mark's. After a few minutes on the phone, it was obvious that we would need to meet in order to go over all of the details.

Mr. Vickrey and I met last Wednesday. After our meeting we then took a short field trip to Mark’s so I could scope out the restaurant, which I really didn’t need to do because my wife and I go there every year for our anniversary. While there, we meet with the manager and told him of our plan, and he was more than accommodating.

Friday night came, and I arrived at the restaurant dressed as a waiter so I would blend in. While I have never seen a waiter carrying around a camera, I wanted to do everything that I could think of to blend in so I would not ruin the surprise.

As it turns out, it worked like a charm, and the evening went off without a hitch.
