Proposal ideas: for the outdoorsy
It’s no secret that I love the outdoors.
If you're looking to take your proposal beyond the ordinary, the mountains provide the perfect backdrop for a memorable and romantic engagement. But you don’t have to travel far to get stunning photos. Here are some creative ideas to help you craft the perfect outdoor proposal.
Picnic proposal
Pack a cozy blanket and some throw pillows, snacks and treats, and head to an open field away from crazy. Lay back and enjoy the moment. Then when the moment is right and the sun is dipping below the sky pop the question!
I dream of creating picnic proposals all over AZ and beyond, and I offer a special discount to kickstart my traveling decor setup. DM me on instagram and let me know where you are located and if my travel schedule lines up i’d be happy to help you out!
Camping + cozy campfire
There is no shortage of breathtaking camping spots I’ve pinned and explored since I moved to Arizona in 2021. What better way to create this beautiful moment than to escape to a secluded camping spot with a clear view of the sunset. Set up a cozy campfire, share stories, and when the moment is right, present the ring.
Hiking adventure
They say the hardest climbs have the best views, if you are someone who loves a good metaphor like me – consider hiking to a beautiful lookout to propose. I’ve done this on multiple occasions, and it’s how I got engaged! My fiance planned a sunrise hike and hired our amazing photographer Tonie Christine.
…you really cant go wrong with Sedona.
My first proposal I got to shoot was out in the red rock nature of Sedona. We we’re hiking in January and when we got to the top of Cathedral Rock I was taking some photos when this man came up to me asking about my camera. He said to me quietly that he tried to find a photographer but that they all declined due to weather and asked if I would take photos because he was about to propose.
Like HOW CUTE IS THAT?!
We shooed away some of the people so I could get the perfect shot of him getting down on one knee.
Nature provides a canvas for the most unforgettable proposals. Whether you choose a spot in the mountains, or on your favorite beach, an outdoor proposal adds a touch of magic to this significant moment in your lives. So, lace up your hiking boots, pack a picnic, and let the great outdoors witness the beginning of your lifelong adventure together.
