Lake Dillon Surprise Proposal

 

Proposal photos are one of those incredible underrated moments of your life that you can totally capture on camera, but a lot of us don’t think about it! One of my most popular blogs this year has been 10 Best Places to Propose in Colorado, so when F reached out to me to capture his proposal to H, I was SO stoked and all ears!

F knew he wanted a short hike or walk to an amazing view, preferably with a lake - cue this amazing location that I stumbled upon in Summit County that I now visit every time I stay in town. It’s a short 10 minute walk down to the waters edge with views across the lake of the Ten Mile Range, and a secluded beach of black shale. It’s stunning. It’s lush. It’s got views. And it’s got water.

Of courseeee August in Colorado means rain so cue an hour before our scheduled time for me to hide in some bushes and it’s d o w n p o u r i n g. Luckily the rain ended up letting up and we got to capture this stunning proposal, complete with these stunning flowers from Garden of Eden in Frisco.

F and H are the most fun, spontaneous, and natural couple I have possibly ever photographed. I know having a camera in front of your face is intimidating but holy cow you guys, these two were so comfortable and lighthearted, you would never know they hadn’t been in front of the camera before. I LOVED IT.

Get in touch to book my for your surprise proposal today - I only take on a handful of these every year!

Hi, I'm Kimberly 👋

Colorado elopement photographer, snack enthusiast, and your personal hype woman for ditching the traditional wedding entirely.

I spend most of my time wandering dirt roads around Crested Butte, the San Juans, and Denver finding the kind of spots that make you forget what stress even feels like. You know — the ones with the views that hit different at sunrise, where the wildflowers are doing too much, and the only witnesses are a couple of marmots and your dog in a tiny bandana.

If you're dreaming of vows somewhere wildly beautiful with zero seating charts involved, hi. That's literally what I do. You bring the love story. I'll bring the camera, the location ideas, and enough snacks to get us through golden hour.
