A Pop-Up Proposal (Chris & Julia)


I've been holding my breathe to do this post! It's definitely one of my most favorite projects EVER. Towards the end of last year, I was approached by a very sweet young fellow, Chris. He emailed me asking if I'd be willing to help him create a pop-up proposal for his girlfriend (now fiance), Julia. Having recently gotten engaged, I was super interested in doing the project with him.

Over the next few months, Chris came up with some key moments from their relationship for me to create scenes. We decided to keep the project to a limited color palette and highly stylized, like a story. The last scene depicts the spot where he proposed to her. This is the final result and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of his big moment. Congratulations to Chris and Julia!
