A surprise proposal in Glacier National Park - Two Medicine by Alex Gale Photography
For every proposal, I give precise instructions to my guys on what to do, where to be, and when! This really helps make sure we are in place at the right time and makes the whole thing a little less stressful.
The night before this proposal, the weather forecast was looking gloomy during sunrise, which was a huge bummer considering Nalin wanted to propose during the alpine glow. Regardless, we decided to be there during sunrise. I always arrive 45 minutes early to get into place, scope out, and make sure everything is good to go. While waiting completely by myself, the clouds started to clear, and the photos speak for themselves. I was in awe and SO ready for them to arrive. They walked over to the beach JUST in time, and I was so grateful for such an amazing experience.

Justin reached out a couple of weeks before he and Amanda's Whitefish, Montana, vacation, saying he would like to propose somewhere beautiful, close by to their Airbnb. I knew just the spot! I told him exactly where to be, when, and even sent him a photo of myself so he would know what I'm wearing. I give detailed instructions to all of my proposal clients because I know how much stress they're already under.

Capturing this fleeting moment was a privilege and a joy. The raw emotion, the overwhelming happiness, the stunning backdrop of Glacier National Park – all these elements came together to create a memory that will last a lifetime. And moments like these remind me of why I love what I do. Photography is more than just taking pictures; it is about capturing moments, telling stories, and preserving memories. It is about freezing time so we can relive the beauty and emotion of a single moment for years to come. And in a place as magnificent as Glacier National Park, those moments are truly special.
