How do I propose at Moraine Lake? Comment proposer au lac Moraine? One of the busiest and most beautiful places in the Rockies!!!
So you have planned your trip and booked accommodation and have a ring in your pocket! Now how to propose at Moraine Lake and have it photographed and a surprise? It’s a tricky business as Lake Louise area is incredibly busy during typical tourist season. So it take coordination, planning, and a great photographer who can adapt on the fly!
Two of the main issues with Moraine Lake is a lack of cell service and parking. This can mean large gaps in communication once inside the parkway. The simplest solution is a Satellite beacon that allows me to send texts and updates when I am secured in position and on site. This is extremely helpful but only until the couple leaves services as well. This means BACK UP PLANS! Having and organizing multiple plans is the key to success in any proposal. As events can derail a surprise, especially when the other partner is in the dark about what’s happening.
Solutions… You must know what your photographer looks like and vice versa. Picking one another out in a crowd is key for moving forward with dropping to one knee. Second is to have a location set and secured. I have spent many mornings taking over a small piece of rock to “save” it for my couple and the perfect view as the sun rises. It is also a great idea to create hand signals or gestures that would indicate “moving to secondary location” or ” I need a few minutes”. Communication will ease the tension and help you enjoy the moment more. Please reach out with questions!
