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.

  • Snow has officially fallen in Stowe and it looks like we’ve got even more on the way. If you’ve been dreaming of snowy photos, now is the perfect time to sneak them in before the temps really drop. I still have a few openings for my holiday mini-sessions this Saturday and next, and the tree farm is looking so magical right now. If you want to grab a spot, visit the second link in my bio.

Fall said it was done but the colors were like “actually we’ve got one more round.” Deep reds, cozy browns, a pop of burnt orange, and the happiest couple soaking it all in. Editing these has me refusing to accept the calendar. I’m staying in fall just a little longer.

I’ve been photographing this sweet family since before their second little one was even born, and it’s such a joy to see how much they’ve grown each year. They are pure sunshine and giggles. I’m so grateful for all the families who come back year after year and trust me to capture their memories.
