Real couples, real proposal stories
Every Yosemite proposal looks a little different. Some couples choose the drama of Glacier Point at sunrise. Others want a quiet moment on the valley floor with no one else around. These galleries show what my real Yosemite proposals actually look like. Click in and see what yours could be.

I guess you could say I'm good at keeping secrets
Everyone on this page trusted me with a secret. The ring, the plan, the exact spot, weeks before their partner had any idea. I don't take that lightly. I show up early, find my spot, and stay out of the way until the only thing left to do is say yes. When it's your turn, the words are the only part you'll have to think about.
