Have you ever experienced the breathtaking beauty of Canyonlands National Park in Southern Utah? Imagine standing on the edge of a rugged canyon, feeling the warm desert breeze, taking in the panoramic views, and the love of your life proposing.

Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to help plan and capture the most beautiful proposal in the midst of this majestic landscape. Nikhil reached out to me to help him orchestrate a surprise proposal for his girlfriend, Anushree. They were on a trip to all the parks here in Utah, and he wanted to make it super special for her. I setup the special tokens that Nikhil really wanted for her. We got tiramisu (the dessert they had on their first date), flowers, and wine.

My husband came with me on the road trip to help. We set up the cute details in the most amazing spot overlooking Canyonlands National Park. We saw Nikhil and Anushree pull up in their car, so we pretended to be tourists while they made their way up the rock. As they turned the corner and Anushree saw the setup, she was immediately so happy. You could just tell how much they loved each other.

As the sun came out behind the clouds, lighting up the landscape beyond, Nikhil knelt down on one knee, pulling out a ring and asking the question that would change their lives forever.The look of surprise and love on the Anushree’s face was priceless, a mixture of shock, happiness, and overwhelming joy.

In that moment, I realized the power of photography to capture not only the beauty of a stunning landscape but also the raw emotions and connections between people. It was a reminder of how important my job is, to capture these moments that don’t last long but you want to remember forever.

Dessert: Bonjour Bakery

I highly recommend considering Bonjour Bakery. The tiramisu was to die for, and all the other desserts there looked amazing. They also had the cutest little cafe with a great atmosphere.
