Snowy Engagement at Garden of the Gods | Colorado Springs Engagement Photographer

A Winter Proposal to Remember

Some love stories feel straight out of a movie — and Dylan + Karley’s snowy engagement at Garden of the Gods was one of those moments. Their session took place at the iconic Siamese Twins formation, where Pikes Peak frames perfectly in the distance. With fresh snow blanketing the red rocks, Dylan’s vision for the perfect proposal came to life.

Planning the Perfect Surprise

We had mapped out every detail in advance, and Dylan hoped for snow to set the scene. As luck would have it, Colorado delivered: crisp air, soft golden light at sunset, and snow-dusted sandstone cliffs. The setting was breathtaking, and it added an extra layer of magic to their story.

When the moment finally arrived, Dylan got down on one knee. Karley’s surprised “YES!” echoed through the canyon. Their laughter, joy, and excitement were contagious — a true reminder that the best engagements are filled with authenticity and fun.

For me, it was extra special to capture this on my birthday. It wasn’t just about photos or video — it was about preserving a memory they’ll treasure forever.
