Matt reached out weeks in advance, full of excitement (and a little bit of nerves) about his plan to propose to Kathryn during their visit to Colorado. He had something truly special in mind: a surprise proposal at Garden of the Gods, one of Colorado Springs’ most iconic locations. Little did Kathryn know, Matt was planning not only the proposal of her dreams but also an unforgettable surprise that would leave her speechless.

As Matt and Kathryn arrived at the stunning Garden of the Gods, Kathryn had no idea that her family had flown in to be there for the big moment. They were waiting in the background, ready to congratulate her as soon as she said “yes” — and of course, she did! Surrounded by the breathtaking red rocks and the crisp mountain air, Matt got down on one knee, and Kathryn’s reaction was absolutely priceless. The moment was filled with love, surprise, and a whole lot of joy.

After the proposal, we captured some stunning photos of the newly engaged couple, all while keeping the surprise family gathering a secret. Once the photos were taken, Kathryn was able to join her family to celebrate the exciting news and head out for a celebratory dinner to continue the festivities. It was truly a perfect day in one of Colorado’s most picturesque settings.
