Gage Walker - Coeur d' Alene Proposal on the CDA Resort Boardwalk
Coeur d’ Alene Proposal on the Boardwalk
It is not every day that I get to photograph a proposal. Gage Walker gave me a call a couple months in advance asking to meet with me to talk about me being his wedding photographer as well as photographing his proposal. I have had the chance to photograph three proposals this year and they always excite me. It brings back all to recent emotions and memories of my own proposal not long ago.
Anyway, Gage asked me to photograph the proposal at the boardwalk just outside of the Coeur d’ Alene Resort. After talking back and forth for a couple weeks, our plan went into motion. It was a very cold afternoon but was not raining or snowing. I arrived 30 minutes early and went to where we had discussed he would get down on a knee at. I was there pretending to take photos of the scenery when the two of them walked up. His soon to be fiancé did not know that I would be there nor had she met with me before taking the photos so it worked out perfect. Gage got down on one knee and proposed and I turned to snap photos of the two of them. After a few minutes, Gage turned to me and told me they were ready for more photos. I quickly introduced myself and started snapping. When taking photos after a proposal, I try to be as quick as possible, typically only taking five minutes of the couple’s time so that they can just enjoy their special evening together. I left and edited the photos by the end of the night so that they could share the news with friends and family the day it happened. Here’s a little photo sneak peak into what happened:
I love when I get the opportunity to photograph proposals in Coeur d’ Alene. If you are reading this because you are interested in me photographing yours, just ask me about it! It does take a bit of planning to pull it off but I have a lot of experience with them. I can also offer some helpful advice as well! Thank you for reading along.
