Angelin has been one of April's very best friends since college, and I have been friends with her since I met my then-future-wife. Being one of April's roommates, Angelin had every right to sniff around when a stranger started spending a lot of time with her friend; luckily, I passed the sniff test, and ultimately found the love of my life.

Over the years, Angelin went from being "April's friend" to simply "my friend", so April and I shared equal excitement of the news that her boyfriend, Linh, would soon be proposing to her. Linh is the best gift Angelin has ever given to me, just a truly great guy who is amazing with the infectious joy of his personality and his uncanny ability to make anyone comfortable around him. Angelin and Linh are great together, and April and I always have a great time with them, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to watch Linh propose.

Guglielmo Winery in Morgan Hill, CA throws an annual Holiday open house, which Angelin and Linh have made an annual tradition; speaking as a photographer, it worked out beautifully since the property is full of rustic wine country dioramas and a beautiful vineyard out back. On the day friends and family met there to watch Linh surprise Angelin, there was also some pretty amazing near-sunset light.

With that, the stage was set for the proposal, and after a little bit of misdirection, we got Angelin in the vineyard with Linh in just the spot that we wanted, and it all went down. After hearing all sorts of great things about the camera on the iPhone 6 Plus, and actually having April's handy, it became the tool of choice. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it did a great job! I think the iPhone did a great job capturing the moment that Linh dropped to a knee, raised a ring while Angelin put a hand on her mouth in surprise. All the photos featured in this post were shot on an iPhone 6 Plus.

Of course, the rock.

It was a true honor to be there to document watching some of our favorite people embark on this next phase of their lives, and we're both really excited for their wedding day!

PS - Phone cameras are pretty capable these days.
