Jenna and Cody’s surprise Garden of the Gods proposal was one of those unforgettable days where love and nature aligned in the most magical way.

Sunset Among the Red Rocks

As we wandered through the trails of Garden of the Gods, Jenna’s joy and laughter filled the air. She had no idea that Cody was carrying a ring in his pocket, waiting for the perfect moment.

When the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting golden light across the towering red rocks, Cody dropped to one knee. Jenna’s gasp echoed through the quiet expanse, her tears of joy shining brighter than the ring itself. It was a proposal that felt like it belonged to the land itself.
