Oh my gosh, she said YES! I am so excited to share this blog today because we have a magical PROPOSAL!

Zach reached out to me a while ago, saying he wanted a photographer to be there when he proposed to his girlfriend—soon-to-be fiancée—Madison. He had a wonderful plan laid out from the beginning, with signs put up along a trail at Hills & Dales MetroPark leading to the big moment. Everything went off without a hitch! Zach’s brother helped set up the seven signs, which included a sweet message, guiding arrows, meaningful Bible verses, and the final question: “Will you marry me?”

It was so cute!

We were blessed with absolutely beautiful weather that morning! The past few days had been chilly and rainy, but today was perfect. And as soon as Zach knelt down on one knee, the sun came out shining! It truly felt like God’s way of saying, “I approve of this union.” The sunshine stayed for the rest of the day, making it even more magical!

And oh my goodness, Madison was a vision! Her white dress was stunning, her necklace and earrings were so elegant, her shoes sparkled, the amazing blue nails, and her engagement ring—a sentimental piece for her and her family—was breathtaking! Zach had a beautiful speech prepared, and it was no surprise that Madison said YES!

We celebrated with a few poses at the final sign. Afterward, we took a quick five-minute drive to capture some portraits in front of Southdale Elementary School. Friends, this is where their love story began! Zach and Madison first met at this very school when they were in fourth and fifth grade—how sweet is that?!

Zach and Madison, congratulations!! I am SO beyond happy for you and cannot wait to see you start your wedding journey together and spend forever with each other! It was so fun capturing this magical proposal for you two! Here are some sneak peeks to enjoy while I edit the rest of your gallery! ✨🩵
