I loved photographing this hiking proposal last fall.

This one was at Max Patch and it was a foggy one!  I have been to Max Patch in the fog before, but I'm pretty sure this was the thickest I have seen the fog there. As I followed along on the hike behind Hayden & Michelle, I almost lost them for a minute because I could not see very far in front of me at all.

I did find them in the fog though. After hiking a bit, Hayden stopped. He had something to say to Michelle. Then he got down on his knee and proposed! She said YES!!

They had their moment and it was beautiful! The dogs definitely started noticing me way before Michelle noticed. Haha!! Then she noticed too.

Once Hayden and Michelle gave the dogs the ok that I was approved to be part of the moment, they started celebrating with them. It was so cute! The dogs danced around them and galloped around encircling them. Dogs are the best!
