Marissa + Stephen | A Deep Creek Lake Proposal

Proposal

A few weeks ago, I got an inquiry about a super amazing Deep Creek lake proposal. Stephen told me all about his plans to propose to his girlfriend of almost 11 years, Marissa. He planned the entire weekend getaway with their closest friends at Deep Creek Lake.

Deep Creek Lake is such a special place. I’ve photographed so many special moments at the lake and now got to photograph AN AMAZING proposal, one the frozen lake. Winter in Deep Creek is just magical and this evening was nothing less than that.

I arrived to find all of Stephen and Marissa’s friends putting up balloons, warming up food, and rushing around their Deep Creek Airbnb to make it just perfect to celebrate their engagement. They did SUCH good job! I snuck out the house and found Stephen and Marissa out on the frozen lake with their sweet pup. He dropped to his knee, pulled out the ring and she said YES!

It was pretty chilly, a balmy 10 degrees!! We got some beautiful “just engaged” portraits before going inside to celebrate with their friends!

AN EAST COAST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

At my core, I’m a family girl, and that’s exactly why I photograph weddings the way I do.

You’re not just hiring me for beautiful portraits. You’re inviting me into one of the most sacred days of your life. I pay attention to the in-between moments - the way your dad squeezes your hand before walking you down the aisle, the quiet breath you take before the doors open, the way your grandmother watches you with pride.

I serve with intention and protect your peace, creating space for you to be fully present while I document your story in an artful, effortless way. Because when you trust me completely, you don’t just pose for the day, you live it. And that’s when yout images become timeless.

And I can't wait to get to know you!
