Forrest and Colby 

An unforgettable proposal

Winter has a magical way of transforming ordinary landscapes into enchanting wonderlands, and when it comes to proposals, what better setting than the stunning Glacier National Park? Picture this: a frozen Lake McDonald, skies painted in vibrant blue spotted with puffy white clouds, and majestic snow-capped mountains providing the perfect backdrop for a moment that will be etched in Forrest and Colby's memories forever.

Forrest, with a twinkle in his eye and a heart full of love, planned the ultimate winter proposal that would make any romantic swoon. The stage was set at Lake McDonald.   Apgar Village provided the perfect backdrop, with its cozy charm and a dock that extended into the frozen lake, creating a scene straight out of a winter fairy tale.

Forrest and I (the sneaky accomplice with a camera) hatched a plan that was as clever as it was romantic. I played the part of an unsuspecting tourist, snapping photos of the breathtaking scenery from the dock. Little did Colby know that her life was about to change in the most enchanting way.

Positioning myself strategically on the dock, I took snapshots of the mountains, occasionally glancing in the direction of the impending proposal. Meanwhile, Forrest led Colby to the end of the dock, his excitement barely contained beneath the surface.  These two can not control their laughter and smiles around each other.  You can totally feel their love just by watching them.  It truly is amazing.

Forrest asked Colby to face the majestic mountains for a seemingly routine photo. Little did she suspect that this would be the snapshot that captured the turning point in their lives. As she posed against the stunning backdrop, Forrest dropped to one knee.

"Turn around," he whispered, and as Colby pivoted, her eyes met Forrest's, sparkling with love, smiles and of course laughter!  In that frozen moment, surrounded by the stillness of winter, Forrest asked the question that would change everything.

"Will you marry me?"

Colby said yes, a beaming smile on her face accompanied by a lot of laughter, as Forrest popped the question. I, armed with a camera and a front-row seat to this winter proposal spectacle, captured the magical moment.

Following the proposal, the adventure continued with an engagement shoot, and the snow-covered landscape of Glacier National Park became the perfect canvas. We captured candid shots, freezing in time the genuine happiness and excitement that filled the air. Throughout the session, laughter and smiles were the main attractions, creating a series of images that will certainly be memories they will cherish for a lifetime. Here's to a most certainly happily ever after, as Forrest and Colby embarked on the next chapter of their love story, each photograph telling a tale of love, laughter, and the promise of a beautiful future together.

…..and they lived happily ever after
