Rhiannon + Jonathan’s Banff Proposal

About an hour after Rhiannon emailed us asking if we were available for a couple’s shoot in Banff we received another email from Jonathan, letting us know that he planned to propose during their shoot. We were stoked, it was exciting to be a co-conspirator in this very special plan.

On the day of the shoot, everyone felt elated. It was cold, really cold. But that didn’t affect our ear to ear grins as we explored through the gorgeous Rocky Mountains together.

The next few months were much like our first encounter. Rhiannon would email, and then Jonathan would email about an hour later. She’d asked us specifically not shoot at one location, and then Jonathan would ask if we could shoot at that exact location. In turns out that being a co-conspirator is helpful in nailing down a plan that makes everyone happy while still keeping the surprise under wraps.

When we reached the final location we fired off a few portraits, giving very little direction and allowing space for Jonathan to make the next step when he was ready. After a big pause and a big breath, Jonathan went down on one knee and in the next few moments time melted away, there was only the two of them and this big, beautiful moment.

What a way to wrap up 2018. Thank you, Rhiannon and Jonathan, for trusting us and for letting us be a part of this very special moment.
