Rifle Falls State Park Surprise Proposal
Okay, are y’all ready for the SWEETEST proposal ever? J reached out to me months ago about proposing to his partner K, and I mentioned we could do it one of two ways:
I hide myself amongst the bushes and shrubs to capture it in secret!
We set up a “styled shoot” where I reach out to K and ask if they would be down for a free couples session!
J opted for option number 2 and everything went PERFECT. While the original plan was to go to South Mineral Creek Falls for this once in a lifetime moment, because of the Ice Fire, the closure for the area was extended until at least September because of flood potential. I think we were all pretty bummed with the news after crossing our fingers for months, hoping it would open. But when J suggested Rifle Falls State Park as our backup, I couldn’t have been more stoked.
I’m super familiar with the area and have photographed here so many times, but y’all, it is always SO vastly different. Like that time I photographed it in the winter when it was covered in snow and ice. This place is so dreamy, year round. It was a little more busy than I was expecting for it being a weekday morning, but can you believe that when J proposed, the crowds were completely gone for those 10 minutes they had together. Everything couldn’t have gone more perfectly.
How the proposal went down: HE WROTE A SONG FOR HER, they danced to it together in front of the waterfalls and then he got down on one knee. Literally, how perfect.
