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.

  • We did a thing. I married my best friend. 😍 

Thank you to @ameliamariephoto for capturing our day so perfectly. 

Many thanks also to @stylistsarahspeer and @pistilproduction for beauty and flowers.
  • There’s just something extra special about newborn sessions at home—where everyone’s cozy, relaxed, and in their own space. This sweet July babe was an absolute dream, and I loved getting to capture all the snuggles, stretches, and sleepy little details.

No crazy setups, no stress—just real life, real love, and the start of such a beautiful new chapter. 💛

  • Part III: The Vows

Jack and Maddi shared their vows at the top of Mount Mansfield with their closest family by their sides. It was one of those days where everything just felt right. The kind of day you want to bottle up and keep forever.

There were laughs, a few happy tears, and a whole lot of love. They danced on the mountaintop, popped champagne, and soaked in every second of it together.

A quiet, joyful celebration in a place that felt like magic.

There’s just something extra special about newborn sessions at home—where everyone’s cozy, relaxed, and in their own space. This sweet July babe was an absolute dream, and I loved getting to capture all the snuggles, stretches, and sleepy little details.

No crazy setups, no stress—just real life, real love, and the start of such a beautiful new chapter. 💛
