Snowboard Proposal in Breckenridge, Colorado

Carlos and Daniela came to Colorado from Florida for a snowboard vacation with their friends. A month before their trip, Carlos reached out to me to help plan his proposal to Daniela. He knew he wanted to propose during a day they were snowboarding at Breckenridge Ski Resort, so we made a super sneaky plan!

There ended up being a snowstorm on the day Carlos planned to propose at Breckenridge Ski Resort. An accidental powder day is always the best! During a short break from snowboarding, Carlos got Daniela’s attention before they strapped back in. He dropped to one knee and popped the question. It was so fun to see the surprise and shock on Daniela’s face as she said yes! As they hugged, their friends all celebrated and cheered behind them. 

After the initial excitement, I did a few runs with just Carlos and Daniela. We stopped in the trees for beautiful snowy portraits and to celebrate with champagne. As we headed back onto the slopes the snow had slowed down, so we were able to get photos with mountain views. Carlos and Daniela got to spend the rest of their day at Breck snowboarding and celebrating their engagement!

Planning a Proposal with Snowy Weather

Since I work with clients ahead of time to determine the date and location of a proposal, the weather can’t be predicted. You never know if you’ll have a sunny bluebird ski day in Colorado or if it’ll be snowy. It ended up snowing on the day Carlos proposed to Daniela, but everything still worked out perfectly. When proposing, your partner will be surprised and excited regardless! The snow made it feel like Carlos and Daniela were in a winter wonderland with the snow circling around them. I loved getting to photograph these two and skiing with them. Their love and excitement was contagious!
