Grand Tetons Summer Proposal • Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Lauren and Austin's love story took a breathtaking turn in September. With this stunning Cascade location inside Grand Teton National Park, Austin dropped to one knee, sparking a whirlwind of joy, laughter, and tears. I remember how excited Austin was for this moment as we chatted on the phone weeks before. He even pulled up Lauren's Pinterest and inspiration boards to find a photographer who matched her desired style of documenting and editing! He really went the extra mile for this moment to also make sure Lauren would love the photos!

Jackson Hole, Wyoming holds a special place for Lauren since she visited every summer with her family and would explore and hike in Grand Teton National Park. I loved that we were able to incorporate this very sentimental area into their proposal and engagement photos.

From the moment the session began both Lauren and Austin’s energy was contagious. I wish these two were locals so I could be best friends with them! Their love was effortless to photograph. It wasn’t just a proposal; it was a celebration of their connection, surrounded by the most majestic mountains.

Lauren and Austin’s engagement is a reminder that the best moments in life are the ones we embrace with open hearts and unfiltered joy. Here’s to a lifetime of love, adventure, and laughter for Lauren and Austin! Enjoy reliving their proposal through these images!

Grand Tetons Summer Proposal

This summer proposal is what dreams are made of! I have shot over 30 proposals now in the Grand Tetons and I feel like I’ve gotten it down to the perfect system. So when Henry reached out looking for ideas and how to make sure it was documented and stress-free, (as stress free as proposing to the love of your life can be), I had his back!

Henry and Kira were coming from Australia to the US to travel for a month to visit National Parks. I loved Henry’s idea of proposing near Jackson Hole in the Grand Tetons so we FaceTimed about a week before they headed to the US to line out all the details. Henry mentioned how he and Kira were adventurous and truly loved having fun together. He was pretty certain that Kira would have no idea what was coming, and boy was he right! Kira was in complete shock and so excited that a “stranger” was taking photos of the beautiful moment. The weather ended up being just the right amount of cloudy after another hectic week of weather.

One of my favorite moments to capture as a Grand Tetons proposal photographer is the hug after the moment. There’s pure joy on both faces from such an exciting moment. Honestly I get a bit of a rush from it myself because I’m genuinely so excited for my couples! I’m so grateful Henry trusted me with documenting his epic proposal to Kira. It was a beautiful day with a mix of sunshine and overcast, which just so happens to be my favorite to shoot in.
