Gentle Giant Sleigh Ride Proposal in Stowe, VT: Jeremy and Makenzie

Jeremy and Makenzie adventured to Stowe, Vermont for a weekend of skiing to celebrate Makenzie’s birthday. However, Makenzie had no idea that Jeremy was also planning a surprise proposal. Jeremy first surprised Makenzie with a Gentle Giants Sleigh Ride through the snowy winter fields. When they reached a gazebo, nestled in the trees, they got out to take some photos on their iPhone. Jeremy then got down on one knee and asked Makenzie to be his wife.

Makenzie got one more surprise when she saw me jumping out of the trees to capture the big moment. Makenzie told me it was such a perfect, romantic engagement and she was so happy Jeremy kept it a secret. After the proposal, they got back in the sleigh with the biggest smiles ever. We took portraits with the horses and under the adorable covered bridge.

These two met on Bumble, like any good relationship these days. The best part about their love story is Makenzie had actually met Jeremy a few weeks before their first date when she saw him in a bar and after a few drinks she ran up and touched his hair and told him it was beautiful. Who would have known it would be a romantic love story in the making. I am so excited for these two. They already have almost everything booked for their wedding so they can celebrate their love with their friends.

Hi, I’m Savannah

Originally from sunny Southern California, I’ve found my heart—and my home—in the charm of Vermont. It’s a long story (best shared over coffee or cocktails), but let’s just say Stowe won me over fast. With its cozy, cinematic beauty, it truly feels like living in a Hallmark movie.

  • The snow is quickly melting, but I’m still not over these last few winter sessions. ❄️

Already looking forward to summer, but for now… holding onto these for a little longer.

  • UVM seniors — I just opened a limited number of senior mini sessions on campus this spring.

If you’ve been putting off senior photos or don’t want to commit to a full session, this is the easiest way to do it.

These are quick, relaxed 20-minute sessions where I’ll guide you the entire time so nothing feels awkward or forced.

Spots are limited.

  • When I said “have fun,” they really understood the assignment. 😍

Somewhere between the laughs, the chaos, and whatever was happening in half of these photos… they also got engaged. And yes, we made sure to sneak in plenty of sweet, romantic moments too.

Honestly the best kind of session. I smiled the whole time and all through editing. Thanks for sharing your joy and laughter with me! ❤️

When I said “have fun,” they really understood the assignment. 😍

Somewhere between the laughs, the chaos, and whatever was happening in half of these photos… they also got engaged. And yes, we made sure to sneak in plenty of sweet, romantic moments too.

Honestly the best kind of session. I smiled the whole time and all through editing. Thanks for sharing your joy and laughter with me! ❤️
