Dreamy Rooftop Proposal in Portland | Stunning Engagement Photos You’ll Love
Are you planning a surprise proposal in Portland and looking for the perfect way to capture the moment? Hayden did just that when he reached out the night before his big moment, hoping to find a photographer to document his rooftop proposal plan. Lucky for him (and me!), I had the evening free and was thrilled to be part of this unforgettable night.
A Last-Minute Surprise Proposal in Downtown Portland
Hayden’s plan was simple yet incredibly romantic: a sunset proposal at a stunning rooftop bar in downtown Portland, overlooking the city skyline. I arrived early to scope out the area and find the perfect hidden spot so that this soon to be engaged couple wouldn’t suspect a thing.
As soon as these sweeties arrived, I could see how nervous Hayden was! Hayden led his partner to the edge of the rooftop, the sun was setting, and we were starting to approach blue hour. As they were taking in the view of the city, Hayden began to drop to one knee after taking out the ring he had been hiding in his pocket for this moment.
Their emotions were so raw, beautiful, perfect, and it was an absolute honor to document such a meaningful milestone in their love story!
If you're planning a Portland surprise proposal, I highly encourage you to book with a professional photographer! They will be able to provide guidance in terms of location and timing, as well as take the stress off of you and your loved ones so that you can all be present and enjoy the moment together, knowing that these moments will be documented for you to relive together down the road.
