Summer Proposal in the Colorado MountainsProposal Details:

You cannot recreate real moments, authentic reactions, and raw emotion. Over the years we often hear one of two things. One is that she has no clue that the proposal is coming.  The other is that we did some ring shopping and she likely will suspect it coming soon.  Really in both of those scenarios because she is ready to get engaged she knows you. Due to knowing you she can sense when something is a little weird.

The perk of truly hidden photography is that despite whatever she might think what you get is still the real reaction.  You will notice further down after the saying yes while she is processing what is happening the camera is pointed out.  This is a favorite moment because she realizes that all that just happened was just captured.  Overall it is regarded as a good thing because both of them cannot remember what they did.  When they elect to have it on video they also can then remember what they said.

After almost all proposals we have time allocated for engagement session like photos.  As we do some front end coaching on expectation setting we are normally able to have a couple be photo ready.  As engagement sessions become less common of a thing this allows couples to get those kind of photos without a separate session.  For us ironically we get similar amounts of photos in far less time due to the heightened level of emotion.

You can get proposal ideas from reading past blogs and read about how we do proposals on our engagement proposals page. If you like what you see here and are considering using this location here are some of the other shoots we have done at the Sapphire Point Overlook or at in the area around Sapphire Point.
