Bree had been asking to do a couples photo session for a few years, so her boyfriend Brayden thought her birthday was the perfect opportunity to finally make it happen. To her complete surprise, he had been secretly planning a wedding proposal instead. So on a beautiful Saturday afternoon up at Silver Lake near Utah’s Brighton Ski Resort, the happy couple enjoyed a romantic photo session until Brayden dropped to one knee, she turned, and the rest is history. Congrats on the perfectly executed surprise proposal, Brayden! So honored to have been a part of making it happen!
