Alex planned a surprise proposal at Castelo de São Jorge in Lisbon, gathering a few close friends for what seemed like an ordinary sunset visit above the city. A few minutes of strategic separation later, he was down on one knee overlooking Lisbon's rooftops and the Tagus River. After the celebrations, we spent the evening wandering through the castle grounds and photographing their engagement as golden hour slowly turned into blue hour above the city.

We spent the entire week before this proposal checking the weather forecast like stressed stock market analysts because Lisbon simply would not stop raining. And then somehow, on their day, the skies opened up for us.
