This surprise engagement at Bear Lake was so special. The lake was just beginning to freeze for the year, creating a glass-like surface, with chunks of ice spread across it sparkling like diamonds. How fitting for a surprise proposal, eh?
When J reached out to me about capturing this moment for A, it was an immediate yes from me. He knew he wanted to propose in Rocky Mountain National Park, but beyond that… he wasn’t quite sure where to start.
And honestly? That’s exactly where I come in…

My role isn’t just to show up with a camera. It’s to help the entire experience feel calm, intentional, and genuinely you, so when the moment arrives, you can stay present and soak it all in.
