A Snowy Surprise: Devin & Genevieve’s Magical Proposal at Hermann Hill

What better way to kick off 2025 than a love story? This past weekend, I had the absolute joy of photographing Devin and Genevieve’s surprise proposal at the stunning Hermann Hill in Missouri. Let me just say—it was like stepping into a Hallmark movie (only better because it was real life). With fresh snow blanketing the ground and the river providing the perfect backdrop, this proposal was as picturesque as they come.

The Proposal Day: Snow, Romance & River Views

When January 11th arrived, Missouri had just been dusted with a fresh layer of snow, turning Hermann into a winter wonderland. The timing was perfect; the golden hour light was soft and dreamy, and the snow added an extra touch of magic. I got to be part of the perfect surprise, and Devin’s plan went off without a hitch. As they strolled along the snowy path, with the river glistening behind them, Devin dropped to one knee.

Capturing Their Joy

What made this shoot so special wasn’t just the stunning backdrop or the snow-kissed scene (though those were incredible), but the pure joy and love between Devin and Genevieve. After the proposal, we wandered around the snowy landscape for some celebratory photos. The glistening snow, paired with this sweet duo, made each shot feel like a scene from a romantic winter movie. And despite the cold, Devin and Genevieve radiated nothing but warmth.
