Kelly & Annie’s Crater Lake National Park Surprise Proposal

Kelly and Annie’s Crater Lake National Park surprise proposal was truly one for the books! Through careful planning and a perfect choice of location, this became a truly epic moment, all captured on camera. On the morning before the big day, Kelly, Annie, and a big group of friends set off from California toward Crater Lake. Annie had no idea we were secretly following just a couple hours behind with our gear in tow, ready to capture their special moment.

The next morning, Kelly and a few friends arrived early at a breathtaking viewpoint overlooking Crater Lake to prepare a cozy, floral-filled setup. Meanwhile, Annie, completely unaware of the surprise awaiting her, trailed behind with the rest of the group. When Annie arrived at the scenic spot and saw her partner standing by a carefully arranged blanket and gorgeous flowers, it took a moment for reality to sink in. But the confusion quickly turned to joy as she realized what was happening, and friends couldn’t help but shed some happy tears too — it truly was a heartfelt, beautiful moment.

Coordinating such an elaborate surprise proposal, especially in an unfamiliar location with no cell signal, was quite the logistical feat. Yet, everything came together flawlessly. Even though it meant a 20-hour round trip for us, it was absolutely worth every second to witness and document such genuine love and happiness. Congratulations, Kelly and Annie!
