ALECCA SYNCLAIR

When it comes to a marriage proposal, Muizz & Zahra’s engagement was the most beautiful Houston Proposal! To set the scene: Muizz planned the sweetest proposal in the iconic River Oaks Theater in Houston, Texas. He created a video compilation of their relationship and surprised her with it in the theater after sending her with her best friends on a scavenger hunt around Houston. Can you imagine a sweeter Houston proposal?

She said yes! After saying yes, the surprises kept coming. We headed in front of the River Oaks Theater marquee sign, where Muizz had worked with the staff to personalize it! Isn’t it the sweetest? As we were taking photos, all of Muizz and Zahra’s friends snuck behind to surprise Zahra. Her reaction was priceless + there was so much JOY – the best kind, celebrating these two and their beautiful marriage proposal.

As a Houston, Texas-based documentary wedding & couples photographer, getting invited to document couples’ moments like this one at the River Oaks Theater was so fun! From planning out the details of the proposal with Muizz to capturing the suprise, joy, and countless emotions, getting to be a photographer never gets old. If you’re looking for a photographer for your proposal in Houston (or beyond!), reach out! I would love to help you document your marriage proposal and capture the memory so you can relive it for years to come!
