The Proposal That Ended With AAA | Snohomish WA

Surprise Proposal Session in Snohomish

Y’all, this is my brother. This one is obviously super important to me, and my goodness, was I excited when he asked me to help him and photograph a surprise proposal to his longtime  girlfriend. The first date we had planned rained out and finally, on a Friday in March, we made it happen. I absolutely love proposal sessions and this was no different. 

We had told Christa that we were going to go do photos, and instead, my brother Josh got down on one knee and asked for her hand and her forever. I gotta be honest – I was crying, and super glad I had the camera in front of my face. 

After she said Yes (of course!!), we strolled through Downtown Snohomish and did their engagement session right then and there. I’m honored to say that we’ll be photographing their wedding this July at Christa’s dad’s property. The beautiful colors and buildings of Historic Snohomish made a great backdrop, and it’s one of my favorite spots to work. 

I’m a little partial to this beautiful gal too – she’s the goddess of awesome hair and has been my stylist for a few years now. These awesome purple locks are all because of her 🙂 

Congratulations to two of my most favorite people on the planet, and I can’t wait to see you walk back down the aisle as a Mr & Mrs in July!

I do have to say one of my favorite moments from this day is when we realized that Josh had gotten so nervous and flustered before the proposal that he locked the keys in the car … which none of us realized until after we’d finished their session. They tried for quite awhile to break in themselves, but eventually resorted to a AAA call & rescue. That’s something none of us will ever forget!

Skip the chaos and the mall crowds—our Santa Sessions are designed for something better.

These 25-minute experiences give your family unhurried time with Santa in a calm, cozy setting. No lines, no rush, no awkward stage smiles—just space for real conversation, giggles, and wonder. Whether your kids want to show Santa their wish list, tell stories, check the nice list, or just soak up the magic, this is your chance to make it personal. We can even create magic storybook photos together!

It’s the kind of Santa experience you’ll actually enjoy—and the kind your kids will remember.

Each session includes a minimum of 25 digital images, a personalized gift for each child from Santa, and a letter from Santa delivered in your gallery. You will also be able to take family photos with and without Santa included.
