A Star-Crossed Proposal: Recreating a Memorable Moment

Yesterday, we shared a truly special photograph that resonated with many. Today, we're diving deeper into the story behind that image, with a stunning new perspective captured at 135mm!

During a recent trip back home to New Zealand, a deeply personal moment unfolded: a proposal. The setting? A windless Wellington night, at the very spot where the couple first took photos together five years prior. This location holds extra significance as it was also the first place the photographer ever dabbled in astrophotography. The goal was to recreate a cherished memory from 2020, this time with significantly improved skills and gear.

As the photographer shared, "I'm so very lucky to have a partner that I consider my best friend. I planned these shots for years and I'm very grateful they turned out!"

The result is a testament to dedication and passion, a beautiful blend of personal romance and the awe-inspiring beauty of the cosmos. The image, a composite to achieve the perfect framing, truly captures the magic of the moment.

This heartwarming story and stunning photograph are a beautiful reminder of how love and shared experiences can be intertwined with the wonders of the universe.
