Corona Arch, Moab Proposal

Jacob reached out to me 2 weeks before he planned to propose. He and Rae planned to come to Utah from their home in the midwest and he wanted to make their trip extra special by proposing to her on a red rock hike in Southern Utah. After our first phone call, it was apparent that his plan was exactly what I do. I sent him a list of 6 locations that I thought would be perfect for his proposal based on his desire to do it on a hike in a gorgeous location

We agreed on him proposing beneath Corona Arch around sunset, and I sent him a rundown of where to propose and details related to the hike. I headed up the trail about 30 minutes before they were set to arrive and set my gear and waited past the arch.

After Jacob proposed with Rae's mother's heirloom ring, she was ecstatic. Other hikers applauded them as Jacob stood to embrace Rae. I approached after she soaked in the moment and told her that we were going to take a mini engagement photoshoot.
