One random Wednesday I get a phone call from an old college friend, Matt Hamilton. My first thought is "oh, lord, what kind of trouble is he getting into." Never in a million years did I think he would be asking me to photograph his proposal at the Odessa Country Club! He had every detail planned out to a tee (pun intended). On September 18, 2021 he flew me out to Midland, TX where I was greeted by the infamous Ryan Epperson and his girlfriend (yes you read that correctly, girlfriend), Lindsey Williams. We headed straight for the country club where the real fun began. Channeling my inner undercover agent skills, I confidently prowled the golf course under the false identity of Megan, "the official OCC photographer." After introducing myself to Britni, Matt and their friends at tee time, I captured a quick photo of them for "the country club's magazine" ensuring not to make direct eye-contact with Matt for fear of busting out laughing. The hard part was over...for me at least.
I laid low and captured photos of them golfing throughout the day and waited patiently for the big moment at the 18th hole. Finally, it was showtime. Matt dropped down to one knee, fireworks exploded in the air, family and friends cheered in the distance and she said YES! There were smiles, there were tears, but most importantly, there was so much love.
Words cannot express how thankful I am to have a job where I can be a part of such special moments for some of my dearest friends. Wishing these two nothing but the absolute best! Cannot wait for the wedding!
