Arthur reached out a month ago to plan the perfect surprise proposal for his girlfriend, Amy. We originally had another Tahoe location in mind, but as it often happens with mountain weather and lake logistics, plans shifted — and we ended up on the stunning west shore of Lake Tahoe.

The change turned out to be pure magic. The sun dropped low over the Sierra, the lake shimmered gold, and in that quiet moment surrounded by alpine air and lapping water, Amy had no idea what was coming.

When Arthur got down on one knee, her reaction said it all — complete surprise, joy, and a moment that will forever be tied to this incredible place.

As a Tahoe proposal and engagement photographer, I love helping couples plan these moments — finding those hidden spots, watching the light, timing the reveal, and capturing the story as it unfolds naturally.

Whether you’re planning to propose in Incline Village, Emerald Bay, or along Tahoe’s wild west shore, the key is always the same: preparation, timing, and trust.

Lake Tahoe has a way of amplifying emotion — the water, the light, the mountains — it’s all cinematic.
And when it comes to capturing a “yes,” there’s no better backdrop.
