Colterris at the Overlook Proposal

If you’ve been doing any sort of wedding planning on the western slope of Colorado then you are probably already familiar with Kayley and Austin of Sparked Weddings and Events. I first met Kayley at the boutique Maverick Hotel wedding editorial her and Abbi of Blossom Design put together last September (ahhh those 90 degree temps, how I miss you).

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when Austin reached out about wanting to propose to Kayley (!!!) and asked if I would photograph the moment for them. Heck yes, 1000% so down.

So once Austin had planned out the perfect itinerary for their day, I did my best to hide amongst the orchards that line Colterris at the Overlook out in Palisade, Colorado. The winery had set out a bottle of wine and some glasses, as well as a hand written note from Austin. And then it happened!

Proposals are seriously my favorite, watching two people so in love with each other that they’re ready to grow old together, ahh my heart. While planning to photograph proposals are SO stressful, it is always so rewarding (okay y’all, the sneaking around, trying to be quiet, hiding in the bushes thing is so serious but I guess I’m pretty good at it because Austin said I was so quiet that he didn’t even know if I was there till he turned around and looked for me, ha!).

After these two had a quiet moment to themselves, I popped on out and we did a few quick photos before these two headed off to the rest of their day, now as newly engaged!!
