Brian + Caiti's Winter DIY Proposal | Youngstown, Ohio Wedding Photographers

DIY Proposal in Youngstown, Ohio & engagement photography

Looking for the perfect DIY proposal inspiration? You're in the right place! At the end of this past winter two of my good friends (and soon to be cousin-in-laws!) got engaged in quite possibly the most creative and magical way. Brian decided to buy a ton of lights, a generator, candles, and rose petals to set up in the woods behind his house in Youngstown. This took MONTHS of preparation.

The night of the proposal (about a half hour before Caiti arrived). Isn't it cool how tucked away in the woods it was? Right behind the lights there's a huge lake too!

The guys had to fix everything right before Caiti was set to arrive because a storm had blown over the lights the night prior. It was crazy! But how beautiful did it end up?!

Caiti made it!! It was sprinkling (hence the unbrella) but I feel like it made it even more of a memorable moment.
