I absolutely love being a part of surprise proposals! When Stephen reached out to me to help coordinate his surprise proposal in Flagstaff, Arizona, I was all in! Stephen wanted to plan the surprise proposal during peak fall foliage in Flagstaff for all of the golden aspen leaves. Because Stephen and Madi are avid hikers, planning a surprise proposal at Snowbowl Flagstaff Arizona was a no-brainer.
Because Stephen and Madi have always been a pretty outdoorsy and adventurous couple and Madi absolutely loves visiting the fall foliage, Stephen was confident that Madi would have no idea – and he was right!!
To avoid the crowds, Stephen had the idea to go on a sunrise hike with Madi! While it was freezing, it was well worth it for the privacy and intimate moment that they got to share with each other.
Stephen set up a little blanket and tripod to take photos of each other during their hike while I was hiding in the trees pretending that I was a nearby hiker taking photos of the fall foliage. I can confirm, Madi was completely surprised!
“Kali was SO sweet and made the entire process feel so comfortable and natural. She hiked in freezing cold weather to capture our sunrise proposal, and we are IN LOVE with the photos. Every one of them is such an amazing memory and keepsake and we are so glad we have them to look back on. She made posing easy and fun , and it translated beautifully into the images she captured. We are seriously so thankful for her capturing a special morning we will never forget, and these photos bring us right back to that moment!”
I loved the intentional planning that Stephen had considered for this suprise proposal at Snowbowl Flagstaff Arizona! The excitement shared between Stephen and Madi was beautiful, and the presence of their family was incredibly heartwarming.
In general, when arranging a surprise proposal, it’s not necessary to have every detail planned before reaching out to me. I enjoy hearing about couples’ ideas and their excitement about creating such a special moment for each other. Plus, since I’ve been taking photos for a while now, especially surprise proposals, I totally get how important it is to get that perfect balance. You want the moment to be intimate but also captured beautifully. So, whether it’s helping you coordinate the perfect location, or the execution of the surprise, I’ve got you covered! I’m all about making sure this big moment is beautifully candid with both professionalism and creativity.
