What better way to start a new chapter in life than with a surprise proposal, the breathtaking beauty of the outdoors, and a love story that has been blossoming for nearly five years?

Chase had been planning this perfect moment for months—carefully crafting a surprise proposal for his longtime love, Lexy, during a New Year’s weekend getaway. As two people who grew up in small towns and share a love for the great outdoors, spending time with friends, and dreaming about the future, this surprise was the ideal way to mark the next big step in their journey together.

Chase and Lexy’s love story began years ago, back when they happened to find themselves at the same bar one evening. Both from different small towns, they knew of each other but hadn’t really crossed paths until that night. After starting a conversation, they quickly realized there was something special between them. Since then, they’ve been inseparable, and next year—April 10th, to be exact—they’ll be celebrating five amazing years together.

Fast forward to this New Year’s weekend. Chase had planned the getaway with a group of friends, but little did Lexy know, he had a big surprise in store. He was on a mission to find the perfect location for the proposal, so he visited the area beforehand to scout out the best spots, carefully considering the scenic beauty of each one. He ended up choosing the perfect place to pop the question.

The day began with Chase flying his drone, capturing stunning aerial views of the mountains and landscapes. As the morning passed, Lexy had no idea that this beautiful, peaceful day was about to take a magical turn. Once the drone was put away, it was time for Chase to make his move. He got down on one knee and asked Lexy the big question—will you marry me?

Of course, Lexy said yes, and the joy and excitement were palpable as the couple celebrated the beginning of their next chapter together. To mark the moment, we took some additional photos in Wears Valley, where we captured even more happy moments of the newly engaged couple. The mountains, the love in their eyes, and the smiles on their faces made for the perfect backdrop.

Chase and Lexy are planning to build their dream house on some land Lexy owns in the next year, and the excitement of starting that new chapter of life together is something they both can’t wait for. Their engagement is just the beginning of all the beautiful moments that are yet to come.

Congratulations, Chase and Lexy! Wishing you a lifetime of love, happiness, and adventure as you build your future together. ✨💍
