When Chris planned his Jackson Hole surprise proposal, he knew Schwabacher Landing would be the perfect backdrop. Though he and Ashley had only been dating for a few months, they embodied the “when you know, you know” philosophy.

The Perfect Surprise Engagement in Jackson Hole

Mid-August brought cloudy skies with dramatic sunrays breaking through—nature’s spotlight for this intimate moment. When Chris got down on one knee, Ashley’s reaction was absolutely priceless. She covered her mouth in complete shock, tears streaming down her face. As a photographer, I live for these raw, emotional moments, and Ashley delivered every bit of genuine surprise and joy.

What made this Jackson Hole surprise proposal even more special? Chris had thought ahead to hire a photographer to capture every second. Ashley was amazed not only by the proposal itself but by his thoughtfulness in preserving the memory forever.

Engagement Photos Along the Snake River

After giving them private time to celebrate, we transitioned into engagement photos along the river. Ashley looked stunning in a short blue dress paired with knee-high boots—perfect for the late summer mountain setting. Chris complemented her style in a long-sleeve shirt, vest, and jeans.

The session produced incredible images. My favorites include Ashley’s initial reaction with her hand over her mouth, the romantic pose where Chris lifts her up while she extends one leg behind her as they kiss, the intimate shot of her sitting sideways on his lap for a kiss, and the tender moment where he kisses her hands as they snuggle close.
