I seriously pretended to try to get photos of a magpie with my daughter while standing on a picnic bench to be inconspicuous during this surprise proposal session. I can only imagine how goofy I looked but hey it worked!

If I could photograph surprise proposals every day I totally would!

✨ New on the blog! ✨

A magical wedding at Craftwood Peak in Manitou Springs, told entirely through details. Think Dungeons & Dragons dice in the flatlays, a dragon-topped cake, jewel-toned florals, and a venue that feels like an old-world tavern.

The couple wanted their day to stay private, but the love, joy, and charm shine through in every detail.

Intimate moments deserve a little privacy. When planning this surprise proposal, I found the perfect tucked away spot so these two could have their moment without distractions, just love, just them.

P.S. I love the little ☁ that was hovering in the lower right corner.

Cheers to Friday! Do you have any fun plans or celebrations lined up for the weekend? I’d love to hear about them!

Weddings are like a beautifully orchestrated work of art, with so many talented people coming together to create something truly magical. This champagne wall was no exception! It was a labor of love, brought to life through the collaboration of incredible vendors who turned this idea into a stunning and functional piece of art.
