Surprise Proposal Photography - Dave + Melissa at Trillium Lake
I got to be stealthy and sneaky last week! Dave contacted me a few weeks ago looking for a photographer and co-conspirator for his surprise proposal, and I was delighted to help! He and Melissa were planning a visit from Chicago, and he had chosen Trillium Lake as the spot to pop the question. He wrote her some heartfelt letters and mailed them to me to pre-place on the path along the lake. I’m not sure how surprised Melissa was at the proposal, but she definitely seemed surprised to find envelopes addressed to her along their pre-dinner walk. And great news: she said yes! It was all very exciting.
The view of Mt. Hood was obscured by clouds, so we went up to Timberline Lodge to take a few more photos before I left them to celebrate over dinner. It was so fun to be a part of their big, exciting moment! Here are a few of my favorites of the day.
