Nolan & Sandrine’s Proposal at Poppy Fields in Aspen

There’s something so romantic about a summer proposal in the middle of a wildflower field — and Nolan planned his just right. With the stunning poppy fields in full bloom, he asked Sandrine to spend forever with him, and I was lucky enough to capture the moment.

The Beauty of Aspen’s Poppy Fields

One of Aspen’s most magical spots in summer is the poppy fields. These bright orange and red wildflowers bloom only for a short window — usually late June through early July — making it one of the most unique proposal locations in Colorado.

The flowers fill the fields like a painted canvas, creating a dreamy and colorful backdrop for photos. It’s peaceful, romantic, and feels like something out of a movie.

A Proposal Thoughtfully Planned

I actually found out about Nolan’s plan through his sister — she reached out to me to help surprise Sandrine with this special moment. It’s always meaningful when family is involved in the planning, and I loved helping make this proposal extra personal.

When the day arrived, Nolan and Sandrine walked through the poppy fields together, taking in the view. I stayed hidden nearby to capture it all. And right there, surrounded by summer blooms, Nolan got down on one knee. Sandrine’s joy and surprise said it all — it was a beautiful moment full of love and excitement.

After the big “yes,” they celebrated with a champagne toast right in the field — such a perfect way to mark the start of this new chapter.
