FOS Wedding Proposal - Friday

[Tekno]

Hi Team,

Bit off an odd one, this..

I plan to propose to the better half at 12 noon on the lawn, in front of Goodwood house / sculpture on Friday.

I wondered whether anyone would be able to spare a few minutes prior to midday to take a few photos whilst I get on one knee etc?

Can PM my email/number for the images to be forwarded. Happy to slip a drink in your pocket for your troubles.

I’ll be fairly obvious as I’ll be with my son who is in a mobility scooter and hope he will pass the ring to me. I’ll be in a jacket and she’s got blonde curly hair.

I know it’s a busy, expensive day but if anyone could spare 5 minutes, I’d be very grateful.

Thanks all. Proving to be pretty stressful - a massive compacted crowd wasn’t what I was after. Bill give the guild an email - thanks.

As a Motorsport and wedding photographer I would absolutely loved to have done this, sadly for the first time since 2007 I can't make it in the week (as I have a wedding to shoot!) so only attending Sat/Sun.

More than happy to put out a call to my Instagram friends, I know many, many photographers attending. Let me know if you'd like me to do that and if I get somebody I'll put you in touch. I know somebody who would be perfect.

Hi there..

Thanks - that would be amazing. I’m running out of time to arrange something so if you did know someone, that would be great.

Hi folks,

Thanks for the good wishes. It was lashing it down most of the morning. As suggested, most of the front was cordoned off just before 12pm.

I couldn’t see too many photographers so asked a couple nearby to video on my phone and his wife took some shots. I don’t think she has the right number as nothing received yet but the video is good.

The now fiancée is happy, which is the main thing!

Here’s a few images - you can see what my son thinks of it all!

Congratulations! Really hoping somebody was able to come through with some photos as the message was spread far and wide. If so they probably won't surface for a while, by midday on day two many will probably be 5000+ deep in photos backed up to edit and priority will be getting photos to clients asap.

Thanks all.

Thanks for all your help, Chris. I think the rain / conditions didn’t help. The lady taking photos has now sent them through so all good 👍🏻
