It’s the most wonderful time of the year: engagement season, my friends, and Beyonce’s about to hear crickets because there will be no single ladies ricocheting her words back to her. If you needed an excuse to head to Colorado during one of the most magical times of the year, let Ryan + Mandi’s mountain top proposal be all the inspiration you need! 

Mountain top proposals are truly some of the my favorite moments to photograph because I adore capturing real, honest emotion and I’m so excited to share this proposal with you today. This is a major proposal aesthetic if you ask me!

This latest proposal was extra special for me because I got to photograph my cousin’s proposal to his new fiance. I love this for two reasons– first and foremost, because, hello! FAMILY! And then most obviously, I was let in on the secret before anyone else, soooo… selfishly that was a nice little ego boost for me, thank you! 

And before I show you all my favorite photos, I also am so excited to let you know I’ll be releasing new blog posts for the next couple months that go in depth on planning the perfect marriage proposal, so make sure to keep checking back! 

So you must be sick of hearing me talk. I’m starting to hear a little whisper in my ear that’s saying “WE DON’T CARE, JUST GET TO THE GOOD STUFF.”

Fine, twist my arm why don’cha. Have a looksy at this surprise mountain top winter wonderland proposal below. I hope you enjoy the sh*t out of these photos like I do.
