Winter Proposal at Stein Eriksen Lodge Ft. A Horse Drawn Carriage | Anthony & Mariah

Anthony reached out and told me he was planning to propose to his long-time girlfriend during a trip to Park City. They’re based in Dallas, so he asked for a local’s perspective on where to pop the question. I sent over a few options and he ended up choosing Stein Eriksen Lodge at Deer Valley — which was an excellent call. Stein has beautiful views, incredible food, and even horse-drawn carriage rides if you want to go full winter romance novel. It turned out perfectly.
These two were absolutely adorable together. Their smiles were contagious and their energy made the whole moment feel extra joyful. Proposals are already fun to photograph, but when the couple is this excited, it makes my job very easy.
At one point, I asked if they were in town for Sundance Film Festival. They laughed and said no — they were there for Anthony’s birthday and to learn how to ski. They had no idea Sundance was happening and were a little confused why everything was so expensive
