Shahin and Paulina’s Breckenridge ski proposal at Peak 8 was on a beautiful blue sky day in April. These two came from Mexico City to Breckenridge for a Colorado ski vacation!
Ski Proposal in Breckenridge
Shahin proposed to Paulina on their second day on the mountain. They had stopped for a short break near the T-Bar at Peak 8. Before strapping back in, Shahin asked me to take a photo of him and Paulina as if I was a photographer for the mountain. Then Shahin dropped down to one knee and popped the question. When Paulina said yes, people waiting in the nearby lift line started cheering! Paulina was surprised and SO excited. You can see how she was gushing with excitement in their photos!
After Shahin proposed, we took some portraits of them in the trees. Then they took a few moments to FaceTime their family in Mexico to tell them the good news! I hit a few runs with them to capture fun action shots of them skiing and snowboarding together. Then they popped a bottle of champagne and enjoyed the rest of their day on the mountain!
Planning a Breckenridge Ski Proposal
When Shahin reached out to me about planning to propose while skiing in Breckenridge, I sent him location ideas for his proposal and he scouted them pn his first day on the mountain. He ended up picking a spot with great views in the middle of Peak 8.
When planning to propose at a ski resort it can feel overwhelming to decide where might be best. With proposal clients, I’ll always send locations ideas and recommendations to help them decide the spot that is best for them. When it comes to deciding where to pop the question you can look for a spot:
at the top of the mountain or a run
at the base of the mountain
towards the back bowls or lesser known parts of the mountain.
It depends on what you are envisioning, but I always help my clients nail down the best spot for them!
