Josh found me on Instagram a few months before he and Monica would be traveling through the Rocky Mountains! They had a few stops along the way including Jackson, Wyoming for the Grand Tetons and Island Park for Yellowstone. I was excited since they were coming all the way from Texas! They also were camping throughout their stops in October!
Josh had been to Jackson multiple times before this trip, but it was Monica’s first time! Josh was showing her all the cool things in Jackson and how amazing and beautiful the Tetons were! Josh took me to even a few new spots I hadn’t been before. I think that’s one of my favorite things is when clients pick out a location that means something to them.
Towards the end of the session Josh asked that we head to Jenny Lake. It’d been a while since I had been to Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. I decided to follow Josh and Monica into the park. Monica and Josh were both amazing sports for smiling and going with my crazy prompts. I asked as we were finishing up if they had any other poses they’d like to try and Josh said, “I have one. Are you ready?”
I said, “Sure, what are you thinking?”
Right then Josh got down on one knee and told Monica his feelings for her and asked her to marry him! Monica said yes! I was so excited and completely surprised! I had no idea Josh was planning on proposing and he kept his cool the entire time! Their session will be always be on of my favorites for the surprise proposal and I love shooting couples from out of state! The clouds parted just in time for us to see the Grand Tetons! All around a session to remember!
