Surprise Prospect Mountain Proposal! | Lake George, NY

It’s rare that Karl and I escape for a date night, but thanks to Grandma and Grandpa we made it to Lake George on Saturday! We started the day off location scouting and taking a few promo photos for each other (by the way, if anyone ever asks me what my idea of a perfect date is—this is IT! Followed by a few craft beers at Adirondack Brewery, of course.)

We made it to the top of Prospect Mountain, and I stood posing awkwardly in front of the epic view, when I heard “oh look! Someone’s getting engaged!”

Luckily, I had JUST purchased my 70-200 lens which captures distant moments intimately! My heart started racing excitedly, and I whirled like a photography ninja to catch the couple, surrounded by their friends, embracing after she said yes!

I tried to give them some private space, but I knew I’d regret it if I left and didn’t offer to take a few photos for them! We captured just a few, and then I left them to enjoy their day. We left for lunch and a few beers, exhilarated at the beautiful moment we just witnessed. To my delight, the new bride-to-be found me through my website and emailed to ask if she could purchase the images. I responded that I was SO happy she found me, and I was delighted to send her everything I had at no charge.

What an incredible day! I doubt we’ll ever top a Lake George date night with a magic surprise proposal on top of Prospect Mountain! Congratulations to the newly engaged couple! We are OVER THE MOON for you!
