Utah Proposal Photography


The Big Question Deserves Beautiful Photos

Planning to drop down on one knee? I’ve got you. Proposal photography is one of my favorite things to shoot because it’s packed with nerves, joy, and the kind of real moments that make life so beautiful. Every proposal has its own planning process, and I’ll be right there to help make sure everything goes perfectly. Some couples keep it a complete surprise, some invite loved ones to join in, and some turn it into a mini engagement session. However you picture it, I’ll capture every second of the magic. You pop the question, and I’ll be there, quietly waiting to document your special day.

A man is kneeling on one knee proposing to a woman in a snowy outdoor setting. The woman appears surprised and is covering her mouth with her hands. They are dressed warmly, with the woman wearing a brown puffer jacket and the man in a black jacket, and snow-covered trees are visible in the background.

Ready to Plan the Big Moment?

If you're already sweating over how to keep this a surprise, don't worry, I’m here for all of it. I’ll help you pick the perfect location, figure out where to stand, what time the light is best, and how to signal me when you’re about to drop to one knee. You just show up with the ring. I’ll do the rest.

Capturing Joy, Surprise, and That “Yes!”

Photographing proposals is all about the real stuff. Your heart pounding, their eyes widening, and that huge smile after they say “yes.” These are the kinds of moments that make being a wedding photographer so rewarding. Each session is filled with joy, nerves, and a whole lot of love.

Some couples plan a quiet hike to a favorite spot, others schedule a playful picnic in a meadow. No matter how it happens, I’m there to guide you through the planning and help create something that feels true to you.

Utah is full of beautiful locations for proposals, including the Salt Flats, alpine trails, and peaceful overlooks near Park City. I’ve captured these big moments throughout the year. Snowy mornings in January, golden leaves in October, and everything in between. With a little planning, even unexpected weather becomes part of the fun.

Let’s make this the year you’ll always remember.
