Willy went to great lengths to make sure that this was a day that Kelly will never forget. On the coldest day of the year, I bundled up and ventured out in the sub-zero temperatures to capture this Valentine’s Day proposal in Denver. Not only did Will make sure that I was there to document it all but he even hired an acoustic guitarist to play a few songs and included their parents to help setup and celebrate.
Kelly thought she was headed to drinks at Union Station but when she saw the setup on the top of the Denver Millennium Bridge she had a feeling it was something more. They had a touching conversation before he knelt down and asked her to marry him. Of course, she said yes.
The raw emotion of a proposal is something quite magical. I live to document life’s big and small moments but these are truly some of my favorite.
Their parents soon surprised them from behind the bushes and Kelly was easily one of the happiest people I’ve ever seen. Willy exhaled and smiled.
We made a few quick photos in the frigid temps before heading back to the apartment where a guitarist played some of her favorite songs and they all celebrated. It was a joy to be part of this life changing moment for them both. I can’t wait to capture more incredible moments with you and your families soon. Congratulations Willy and Kelly!
