Planning a surprise marriage proposal is a thrilling and emotional journey. If you're already imagining that perfect moment—whether it’s on a mountain summit in Breckenridge, a secluded alpine lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, or a luxury setting in Vail—hiring the right marriage proposal photographer is one of the best decisions you can make.
Look for Someone Who Understands Your Vision
Your proposal should feel like you. Whether you’re envisioning a snowy path in Vail or a trail-side view overlooking the Tenmile Range in Breckenridge, your photographer should listen to your vision and help turn it into a moment you’ll never forget.
One of my favorite winter proposals happened at a quiet overlook in Vail, tucked into the snow-covered trees just minutes from the village—proof that a personalized location makes all the difference.
Find a Photographer Who Helps You Plan the Entire Day
A good proposal photographer doesn’t just show up with a camera—they help you build the entire day. From helping you stay calm and confident, to mapping out how you'll get to your location without raising suspicion, I’ll guide you through each step. I’ll remain hidden in the moments leading up to the proposal, and we’ll have a clear communication plan to keep everything discreet—even if Colorado’s wild weather throws a curveball.
At Rocky Mountain National Park, I've planned proposals that required alternate routes, backup timing, and creative cover stories. Local knowledge matters when you're trying to surprise someone you love.
Hire Based on Experience in the Location
Don't underestimate the value of local experience. Whether it’s dealing with trail closures, knowing where to park, or understanding where the light hits just right at a certain location—this stuff matters.
Breckenridge is one of the most popular places I work, and I’ve photographed dozens of marriage proposals at iconic spots like Sapphire Point Overlook and North Star Mountain. I know where to go when the crowds roll in, and how to adapt quickly when mountain weather changes the plan.
Ask to See a Portfolio of Real Proposals
You want a photographer who has actually photographed surprise proposals—not just styled shoots or posed engagements. Look through their portfolio and see if their storytelling aligns with your vision.
From emotional tears at 12,000 feet in Vail to quiet sunrises at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, my goal is to capture the energy of your moment, not just the scenery.
