I help you plan everything ahead of time.

We’ll choose the location, exact proposal spot, timing, and positioning so I can discreetly capture the moment without giving anything away.

On the day of the proposal, I blend into the environment and document the entire “yes” moment naturally. Afterward, we celebrate with portraits while the emotions are still fresh.

You won’t feel alone in planning this.

It’s more common than you think, and it rarely ruins the surprise.

I typically pose as:

• A tourist

• Another photographer

• Someone capturing landscape shots

Most people are too focused on the moment to notice. And even if they do, the surprise still lands beautifully.

It depends on the experience you want.

• 30 minutes is perfect for something quick and simple

• 1 hour allows more variety and relaxed portraits

• 2 hours is ideal for surprise proposals with celebration time afterward

• 4 hours is for couples who want a full adventure experience with multiple locations

If you’re unsure, tell me your vision and I’ll guide you.

Yes.

I’ll recommend locations based on:

• The vibe you want

• Privacy level

• Accessibility

• Lighting conditions

• Time of year

That’s completely normal.

We can choose:

• A quieter location

• A sunrise time slot

• A tucked-away scenic overlook

• A semi-private trail

You don’t have to propose in front of a crowd unless you want to.

Colorado weather shifts quickly.

If it’s light rain or dramatic clouds, we can often lean into it for beautiful photos.

If severe weather hits, we’ll adjust timing or reschedule if needed. I always build flexibility into proposal planning.

Yes.

Some couples coordinate a hidden group of family members nearby who join right after the proposal.

Others plan a surprise dinner celebration afterward.

We can design the flow however you want.

You’ll receive a fully edited, curated gallery that tells the story of your session.

Shorter sessions include a focused collection of strong images. Longer sessions include a more comprehensive storytelling gallery.

Every delivered image is professionally edited and ready for print.

Engagement and proposal galleries are delivered within 10 days.

If you’re announcing the engagement soon, I can send a small sneak peek quickly so you have something to share.

Earth tones, neutrals, and soft textures photograph beautifully in Colorado landscapes.

For longer sessions, many couples bring one casual outfit and one dressier option.

If you’d like guidance, I offer style suggestions to help you feel confident and comfortable.

Yes.

Highlight proposal videos are available as an add-on so you can relive the exact moment and reaction in motion.

It’s an incredible way to preserve the emotion of the “yes.”

Booking is simple:

1. Reach out to confirm availability

2. Choose your session type

3. Sign your agreement

4. Pay the retainer

Once that’s complete, your date is secured and we begin planning.

I focus on making the experience feel relaxed and natural.

No stiff posing. No awkward energy.

You’ll get guidance when needed, space to just be yourselves, and photos that feel genuine instead of staged.

Yes. I offer a limited number of Valentine’s Day couple sessions at Garden of the Gods each year in early February, and spots typically go fast. For dates, availability, and what’s included, visit Valentine’s Day at Garden of the Gods.
