Canmore Surprise Proposal & Engagement Session

Megan Seitz

A few weeks ago, Kevin reached out to me through my website to let me know he wanted to plan a surprise proposal in Canmore for his girlfriend while they were on a skiing trip.

I was thrilled and said of course! Little did we know it would be one of the coldest days of 2026 😂 (-14 degrees to be exact with a wind chill!)

Originally, we planned to have Kevin take Chloe to a park where they could stretch their legs and relax after their long drive from Moose Jaw, but when it was clear that the weather would be “frickin freezing Mr Bigglesworth,” we decided to pivot a bit!

So instead, using my handy dandy google earth & street view, I was able to find a stretch of sidewalk near downtown Canmore that had a beautiful mountain view, and little to no foot traffic (or car traffic!) where Kevin and Chloe to park and then “walk” into downtown Canmore for a warm drink. I sent the location to Kevin and we planned on meeting in Canmore for the surprise proposal around 3pm.

Everything went beautifully! Armed with some hand warmers & a hot chocolate, nothing was gonna stop us from having a magical time! It was one of the sweetest proposals I’ve ever captured, and I love how Chloe hugged Kevin and snuck a peek of the ring on her finger 😉

My instagram caption captured this beautifully–“When he promises you a skiing trip, but promises you forever instead” 😍💍

Congrats Chloe & Kevin!! It was such an honor capturing your special moment!

“Our Photos Were Phenomenal!”

She easily became our good friend as she would make you feel like she's more than just one of your vendors, very organized, not pushy at all, her top priority is what the couple wants and turn that into something very beautiful and most importantly listens to all your needs and requests. Not to mention, our photos came out phenomenal!!! Meg deserves so much more credit because she's a 10/10 photographer but 100/10 as a person.

"So Natural, Dreamy & Timeless"

Meg took photos for us and provided stunning photos and managed to wrangle our massive family with so many wriggly children flawlessly. Very impressive. She has such a fun energy that puts even the most awkward picture takers (my husband) at ease! The photos and the editing are so natural and dreamy and timeless. I would trust Meg with my life and more importantly with my wedding day in a heartbeat and highly recommend that you do too!!
