Stephanie and Dan’s Downtown Asheville Proposal was so incredibly freezing, but that day had one of the most radiant sunsets we had had in weeks. Dan texted me a few weeks before the session about how he was going to propose and we HAD to find the perfect spot! Dan and Stephanie are relocating to Asheville soon for Dan’s new job (YAY)! On the weekend that Dan proposed they had came to Asheville to search for a new home (which they ended up finding, double YAY). Dan thought that it would be an amazing weekend to ask Stephanie to marry him! He brought their sweet and intelligent dog, Freya, with them. Stephanie was unsuspecting and thought they were going on a hike to see amazing views of Downtown Asheville….he fooled her so good. Lo & behold, when they got up there, there I was…trying to act like a tourist only interested in taking photos of the view, I even threw in some selfies with the skyline of myself for good measure (anyone else feel like they seem so suspicious when they are trying their hardest not to be). Dan wanted a special location that would represent the big changes they are getting ready to make in their lives and I think Downtown Asheville in the backdrop set the tone for the new life they are getting ready to start here.
