Or maybe shes dying to some stunning waterfalls in Glacier National Park! You could have the most romantic proposal right in front of the waterfall. Or maybe she loves to have her nails done (hint hint) 😉 Would she be happier if you proposed to her at sunrise, or would she prefer it if you proposed at sunset?

Kind Words From Jack & Maddy

” I hired Brogan to help shoot my surprise proposal in Glacier National Park. I can’t understate how INCREDIBLE and HELPFUL she was. We aren’t from Montana and had to do all the planning virtually and she was there every step of the way. She helped with insights on the best spots and time for this special moment. The photos were STUNNING, every single person who’s seen them have told us they are the best photos they’ve ever seen. I’d recommend Brogan 11 out of 10 times!”
