When my sweet neighbor Jackie asked if I would help with her brother's marriage proposal on Vail Mountain, I jumped at the chance because I love a good proposal shoot.
It was decided that Teddy would propose to E on Windows Deck. You can't tell from these photos, but Windows Deck is hands down, THE best view on Vail Mountain. I also love Windows because it's much more private than most of the decks on the mountain.
As I waited on the deck for Teddy and E to arrive, I spotted them in the distance at Wildwood Restaurant. I generally pretend like I'm a tourist taking photos of the view when I'm shooting a proposal, but given the lack of visibility, I was afraid it might blow my cover. Luckily Teddy got down on one knee before E had a chance to really think about what I was doing there!
After she said yes, they popped a bottle of Veuve to celebrate and we took a few more photos of their special moment. I left them to head back down the hill and got in my one and only day on my snowboard for the season (I can't ski powder, but I love I love it on my board). When I got back to my car, I noticed something on my face. After 16 years of living in Vail, I had caught my first round frost bite. Oh well, it was worth it!
