Malc recently got to be part of Ephraim’s surprise proposal to Nancy at Birmingham’s Macro Pierre White restaurant on the top floor of The Cube. The plan was for me to wait in secret until Ephraim arrived, then the staff would bring in the unsuspecting Nancy.

I arrived early to find the private Haig room lovingly styled by Kayla from Magic Moments Decor . I was pretty nervous waiting for the big moment. More nervous, as it turned out than Ephraim, who was super-cool about the whole thing!

As you can see, Nancy was genuinely surprised. When she walked into the Haig room to see Ephraim standing in a heart made of petals, she was so shocked she had to walk back out and take a moment. But Ephraim got his chance to get down on one knee and, of course, she said yes!

Marco Pierre White has some of the best views in the city, so we took some time on the open-air balcony for a few shots. It was a rainy evening, which we think adds just a little extra magic to these photos.

We love it when unexpected people get involved in these special moments, like when we bumped into this guy getting some fresh air on the balcony, who was really excited to give Ephraim and Nancy his good wishes.

It was getting a little wet outside, so everyone headed back inside and I left the couple to enjoy their meal in peace. Thank you so much Ephraim and Nancy for having me along for this special moment.
