A Romantic Proposal at the Climbing Gym

Rock Climbing Proposal

You may want to get a tissue or handkerchief ready, because this surprise proposal is absolutely HEART-MELTING + 100% perfect!! Okay, you all set? Let’s meet the couple – Maddy + Luis. The two met through mutual friends a little over a year and a half ago and have been attached at the hip ever since. They’re all about adventure — hiking, playing sports and hanging out with their pup, Bella. One of their favorite activities to do together is rock climbing, so it only seemed fitting for Luis to propose in the climbing gym!

With the incredible photographer India Earl in on it – Luis planned the whole thing. The night of, he encouraged Maddy to try a specific climb (even though she was tired + her hands were sore from climbing already). However, she went up the route anyways… India tells us When she got to the top, Luis held her there and we (all of their best friends) all shut off the lights, ran over a hundred feet of string lights in, throwing them up on holds and scattering them all over the ground with rose petals, then switched all the string lights on at once, lighting up the gym with a glow. He belayed her down, while their song “First Day of My Life” by Bright Eyes played; he pulled her in, told her he loved her more than anything else in the world and asked if she wanted to be his wife (which is the same way he asked her to be his girlfriend).  She said YES with lots of happy tears running down her cheeks!!

Is that the sweetest, or what?! Let’s see all the breathtaking moments captured by India Earl!
