Luxury Proposal Photography in Aspen |  
From Planning, to Your Perfect Moment

My favorite inquiries, calls or emails to receive usually start like this 'Hi Kelly, I am coming to Aspen and I want to propose during our trip' - yes , YES you do!!  

I absolutely LOVE to help beautiful couples like yourselves take the first step in saying yes to spending your lives together - and in such a romantic, joyful and gorgeous setting. 

It's special here, if you've visited before you understand what I mean.  Love flows, the mountains speak, it's so easy to look around and truly see the world's beauty.  Rainbows happen more often, we call our snow 'champagne snow', the rivers rush and draw you in, and the aspen trees dance and glow. 

Ok, back to your proposal.  You are on the right track choosing Aspen, this is THE place guys. 

Proposal Photography Starting at $950

That heart-pounding moment when you're about to drop to one knee? It's a blur of mountain views, nervous excitement, and pure love. As someone who's witnessed countless 'yes!' moments against Aspen's stunning peaks, I know that these raw, real seconds are worth more than just memory. They're the first page of your next chapter, and I'm the photographer quietly capturing every genuine smile, happy tear, and spontaneous celebration. Because let's be real - you'll be too busy being completely wrapped up in each other to remember all the little details that made this moment perfect.

From the way your eyes light up when they realize what's about to happen - these are the moments you'll want to relive forever. And while you're focused on not dropping the ring (trust me, it happens!), I'll be there, camera in hand, preserving every beautiful second of your mountain proposal story.

It's such a great way to tell someone how much you really do love them, and you choose them- for life. 

As a local Aspen photographer, I know exactly when the alpenglow hits Maroon Bells perfectly and which hidden trails lead to the most jaw-dropping proposal spots, I've spent years discovering the quiet corners and secret viewpoints that make our mountain town magical.

What sets me apart?  I'm bringing years of local expertise to help you plan the perfect mountain proposal. From suggesting the best time to avoid tourist crowds at your chosen spot, to having backup locations ready if the weather turns (because let's be honest, mountain weather has a mind of its own), to knowing exactly which angle will capture both your love and those stunning peaks.

When you work with me, you're getting more than a photographer. You're getting a local guide who can tell you which path has the best wildflowers in summer, where to find untouched snow in winter, and how to time your proposal perfectly with the sunset. Plus, I'll be there to celebrate with you afterward and can even recommend the best local spots for that post-proposal champagne toast! (Spoiler alert, I also pack champagne & glasses and teach you how to spray it perfectly!)

FAQs

Q: How far in advance should I book you for my proposal?
A: For the best experience, I recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, during peak seasons (December-March for winter proposals and July-September for summer proposals), try to book 4-6 weeks ahead. And hey, if you're planning a last-minute proposal, still reach out - I'll do my best to make it work!

Q: What happens if it rains/snows on our planned proposal day?
A: Welcome to Colorado! As your local photographer, I always have backup plans ready. We'll discuss weather-proof alternatives during planning, and I keep a close eye on forecasts. If needed, we can adjust timing or location day-of.  But remember - sometimes mountain weather creates the most magical proposal photos!

Q: Do you help with planning the proposal?
A: Absolutely! As an Aspen local, I know all the best spots - from iconic locations like Maroon Bells, Aspen Mountain, PineCreek Cookhouse - to hidden gems off the beaten path. I'll help you choose the perfect location based on your style, the season, and how private you want the moment to be. I can even suggest the best times for lighting and minimal crowds.

Q: What's included in your proposal package?
A: My proposal package ($950) includes:

1 hour of photography coverage

Timeline coordination
High-resolution edited images

Q: Can we do an engagement session right after the proposal?
A: Yes! Many couples love to continue with a mini engagement session while they're still glowing from the proposal.
We can capture some posed photos and explore more locations around Aspen. 

Q: What if my partner gets suspicious seeing a photographer?
A: Don't worry! I have several stealth strategies that work great:
Posing as a tourist/nature photographer
Pretending to photograph landscapes
Hiding behind natural features
Using discrete professional gear, years of experience have taught me how to be invisible until the perfect moment!

Q: Do you have backup equipment?
A: Yes! I always bring multiple professional cameras, lenses, and backup gear to every proposal. Mountain weather can be unpredictable, and this special moment only happens once - I come prepared for everything!

Q: Can you recommend other vendors (restaurants, florists, etc.)?
A: Definitely! I have great relationships with local vendors and can recommend:
Romantic restaurants for celebrating after
Florists for that perfect bouquet
