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!

Breckenridge Ski Proposal | Shahin & Paulina

Shahin and Paulina’s Breckenridge ski proposal at Peak 8 was on a beautiful blue sky day in April. These two came from Mexico City to Breckenridge for a Colorado ski vacation!

Ski Proposal in Breckenridge

Shahin proposed to Paulina on their second day on the mountain. They had stopped for a short break near the T-Bar at Peak 8. Before strapping back in, Shahin asked me to take a photo of him and Paulina as if I was a photographer for the mountain. Then Shahin dropped down to one knee and popped the question. When Paulina said yes, people waiting in the nearby lift line started cheering! Paulina was surprised and SO excited. You can see how she was gushing with excitement in their photos! 

After Shahin proposed, we took some portraits of them in the trees. Then they took a few moments to FaceTime their family in Mexico to tell them the good news! I hit a few runs with them to capture fun action shots of them skiing and snowboarding together. Then they popped a bottle of champagne and enjoyed the rest of their day on the mountain!

Planning a Breckenridge Ski Proposal 

When Shahin reached out to me about planning to propose while skiing in Breckenridge, I sent him location ideas for his proposal and he scouted them pn his first day on the mountain. He ended up picking a spot with great views in the middle of Peak 8. 

When planning to propose at a ski resort it can feel overwhelming to decide where might be best. With proposal clients, I’ll always send locations ideas and recommendations to help them decide the spot that is best for them. When it comes to deciding where to pop the question you can look for a spot: 

  • at the top of the mountain or a run

  • at the base of the mountain

    towards the back bowls or lesser known parts of the mountain. 

It depends on what you are envisioning, but I always help my clients nail down the best spot for them!

Breckenridge Snowboard Wedding | Stacey + Donnie

Breckenridge Snowboard Wedding | Stacey + Donnie

Stacey and Donnie celebrated their marriage by dressing up in their wedding clothes and snowboarding at Breckenridge. It was a super snowy day, and it felt like we were inside of a snow globe! After a few runs they warmed up in the Pioneer Crossing Lodge at the top of Peak 7 and enjoyed some champagne and beer at the bar.

While taking some photos outside of the lodge, the wind picked up and we were surrounded by what felt like a tornado of snow! Stacey and Donnie embraced the snow and we got some awesome photos. After they were properly warmed up, they donned their ski gear and did a few more runs before taking the gondola back.

These two had such a fun (and snowy!) day. It was a perfect way to celebrate their relationship by spending the day doing what they love to do together- snowboarding!

Veronica and Ryan eloped while snowboarding at Keystone, and it was a beautiful blue bird day! They spent the day snowboarding in a suit and dress.

We found a gorgeous spot overlooking Mt. Guyot for their self-solemnized ceremony. They has a beautiful, intimate ceremony of just the two of them; saying their vows and exchanging rings with the most spectacular backdrop. Just as Ryan dipped Veronica for a kiss, some skiers passed by and cheered!
