When Macy and Luke chose an Estes Park Winter Engagement, they weren’t just picking a location—they were stepping into a scene straight out of a winter romance novel. With snow flurries swirling around them and temperatures barely above zero, their engagement session was filled with cozy embraces, contagious laughter, and the kind of joy that warms the coldest of days.

For us, this session was extra special. Jeremy and I have known Macy for years, singing with her on the worship team at church. Watching her grow and now seeing her with Luke—who complements her so perfectly—has been an absolute joy.

From the moment we started planning their engagement shoot, we knew we wanted to find a setting that truly represented them. Macy’s love for the mountains made Estes Park an easy choice, and despite the winter chill, she was absolutely in her element. We always strive to help our couples create an engagement session that feels more like a date night—doing something they love together—so we can capture their connection candidly and authentically.

And for Macy and Luke, that meant braving the winter wonderland together.

The Proposal | A Sunrise Surprise

If you know Macy, you know she’s full of energy, so it’s no surprise that she was galloping up the trail completely oblivious to what was about to happen. Luke planned a spontaneous sunrise hike to Devil’s Backbone, a place close to Macy’s heart. Little did she know, Jeremy was secretly trailing behind, camera in hand, capturing the moment from a hidden vantage point.

Once they reached the keyhole, Luke got down on one knee and popped the question. Macy, in her excitement, practically yanked the ring out of his hand before he could even finish! In the midst of happy tears and excitement, Luke whispered, “Smile at Jeremy!”—that was her cue to finally notice Jeremy, who had been stealthily documenting every second.

The moment was perfect. Raw. Beautiful. And exactly the kind of love story we adore capturing.

The Love They Share

For the Groom: What do you love most about her?

“What I love the most about Macy is how self-sacrificing she is, allowing me to follow my dreams. If any of her friends or family members are in need, she is the first one to show up and take care of them. She is the perfect homemaker. Macy is also the perfect game partner and balances out my overly competitive nature. She matches my spontaneity and is always willing to go with the flow. I love how absolutely beautiful she is. I could be having the worst day, and her perfect little smile could just make everything go away.” – Luke

For the Bride: What do you love most about him?

“What I love most about Luke is his dependability. He always does what he says he will do; he keeps his promises. Luke is one of the most kind, giving, optimistic, and loving human beings I have ever known. He is a provider and the perfect partner. He is funny and always knows how to make me laugh, even when I really don’t want to. He is my best friend. He knows what makes me feel loved.” – Macy
