Proposals

Deep Creek

It really is a great place to get engaged...

After she said yes on a snowy morning during their lakefront weekend getaway...

We've got waterfalls! And of course they make for a great proposal backdrop.

There's also places around the shoreline if you want to be at the lake.

Or maybe you just step outside and propose in the backyard of where you're staying. 

Deep Creek has plenty of beautiful places where you can make things happen. And if you'd like it captured, we can very easily make that happen too!



Getting engaged at Deep Creek + Garrett County, MD

When I think about this proposal, I think FROSTY.

The early winter conditions were just so beautiful. The lake had started freezing over, we had gotten a little snow and the trees had some frost upon them. It was also near sunset so the soft evening glow draped so nicely across the frosty conditions.

Jonathan planned a dinner at Dutch's at Silver Tree but wanted to take quick family snaps at the shoreline beforehand. I pretended to be a random photographer capturing the lake scene, stepped in and offered to take a group photo for them and that was Jonathan's cue to pop the question. It was also the family's cue to step away and let the moment happen (they were in on the surprise too).

Jonathan and Elizabeth's Proposal Story

Just a beautiful diamond in the snow because we can highlight the ring, too.

He proposed on a boat! So very Deep Creek perfect...

We needed a quiet cove and dry land spot for me to hide out. Enter my friend Kasey and Penn Cove. I hid in her boat, instructed Carter where to drive and settle the boat, and worked the zoom lens as the big moment happened.

The sun was shining, the water calm and no other moving boats. PERFECT. 

Carter drove the boat back to where he and Olivia were staying and surprised her with both their family members. They enjoy wakeboarding together at Deep Creek so we took some photos with their boards.

Interested in capturing your proposal!?

I would love to help! Whether you have a plan or no plan, let's talk about the possibilities! I can share location ideas, tell you exactly how we can make things happen at that location, and make special arrangements with management if needed (I know lots of people here at Deep Creek!) Is it a hide-and-pop-out situation or am I just a random, innocent photographer? Either way, I've done this a bunch of times and can guide you on how to make it picture- AND Deep Creek-perfect! 

I try to respond to inquiries within 48 hours. If it's Friday, you'll likely hear from me Monday. Warning - if I'm excited about your inquiry and am available to work with you, I'm probably going to call. So don't be afraid of the old school 412 Pittsburgh number that pops up. :)

If you don't hear from me within 72 hours, check spam.

In the meantime, you can catch more JFP action on the socials:

Thank you!
