My friend Mike contacted me last Friday and told me he was proposing to his girlfriend Jacque the next morning at Red Rocks. I immediately asked if I could come and photograph it…of course he said yes! He got her up there for a workout…she had no idea he was going to pop the big question! I tried to look like a tourist taking pictures of the views…but secretly I was spying on them!! Mike really hoped to ask her on the stage – however the stage was closed that day for Easter services Sunday…so he did it in the stands. I stood near by (about 4 rows up) and then he did it! I could tell he was nervous – he kept stretching and wiping his hands on his pants. When Mike showed Jacque the ring she screamed YES! and jumped so high. All the other people at Red Rocks heard and started cheering and clapping – it was fantastic!

If you are or you know someone who is proposing soon – CALL ME!!!…this was the most fantastic photo shoot I’ve done in 10 years.  Why don’t more people think to do this?  Could you imagine if I wasn’t there…neither Mike nor Jacque would remember how high she jumped!

This really did work out perfectly!…besides the fact that the stage was closed off – I think everything else went as planned.  It did help that I’ve only met Jacque a few times so I don’t think she would have recognized me even if I wasn’t playing the tourist “landscape photo” act.  She had no idea I was even there taking pictures until he pointed me out…and by her face I don’t even think she was listening to him – I think all she could think about was that RING!!!

Congratulations Mike & Jacque – it was a perfect moment on a perfect day!  Best, Kim. xoxo
