Monday morning Dorien had no idea what kind of surprise Sam, her boyfriend, has planned as they were getting on a plane in Belgium.
That afternoon they landed in New York City and a few hours later Sam popped the question in a private room at the Asiate restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental hotel. Dorien said yes!
The just engaged happy couple and I took some portraits in Central Park. Congratulations and best wishes to Sam and Dorien!
