A Snowmass House Proposal of Ben and Annalee

Ben planned a meaningful surprise proposal at Snowmass House to Annalee — and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Set at a beautiful private home in Snowmass, Colorado, this moment was sweet, simple, and full of love.

How Their Story Began

Ben and Annalee’s story started in Iowa City, just before the world shut down in early 2020. They met at the Airliner Bar — a local favorite — where Ben was a senior at the University of Iowa and Annalee was a junior.

Their first meeting was brief, but it clearly made an impact. Annalee followed Ben on Instagram afterward, and he asked her out on a study date. That little moment turned into a big love story.

Just a few months later, as the pandemic kept everyone close to home, their bond grew even stronger. Ben said it was during those months — when everything else felt uncertain — that he knew Annalee was the one.

A Proposal Perfectly Suited for Her

Ben shared with me that Annalee loves her hats and absolutely loves Aspen/Snowmass — it’s her happy place. He also knew she didn’t want a big crowd or public attention, so he chose a private proposal at a gorgeous home in Snowmass that offered privacy, mountain views, and total peace.

The moment was just the two of them — no distractions, no noise — just love and intention. I stayed out of sight to photograph it all as Ben got down on one knee with the mountains as their backdrop.

Annalee’s joy was written all over her face. It was calm, beautiful, and deeply personal — exactly what Ben had hoped for.

The Ring & the Details

Ben kept the engagement ring mostly a surprise. They had talked a little about styles, and she had tried some rings on, but he made the final decision. He knew the shape she liked and wanted it to reflect her style in a subtle, meaningful way.
