It’s a Valentine’s Day surprise marriage proposal at the Garden of the Gods! Nick and Shelby were here visiting from Texas, and Shelby was completely under the impression that they were only having some nice couples portraits done in a scenic place. Little did she know that Nick was secretly planning to propose! Of course he and I worked it all out well in advance. After taking a few cute portraits at the High Point, we wandered down the trail a bit. When we found just the right spot I had them stand on a photogenic rock formation, ostensibly for more poses, then Nick suddenly got down on bended knee and popped the question. Her response was an enthusiastic yes! Afterward, we took a few more official portraits, because how could we not? The view was magnificent and this happy couple’s love really comes through loud and clear in the images. Congratulations Nick and Shelby, wishing you the best!
