Kaleb & Carli Sunset Rock Proposal - Chattanooga, TN

Kaleb popped the question on June 25th, 2025, at the beautiful Sunset Rock in Chattanooga, TN. Kaleb had reached out to me about a month prior to his proposal with a plan in place, which I am always happy to hear. Kaleb let me know that Carli loves Sunset Rock, and it was her vision to be proposed to there. Kaleb and Carli met when they were in middle school and have been together ever since. These two were so incredibly sweet, and capturing this beautiful moment for the two of them was beautiful.

I always wonder if the lady being proposed to had caught on before the proposal. I know I did NOT, though I should have. Carli said she had no idea, and it was a pleasant surprise to her.

In the days after the session, Carli's Instagram stories were flooded with photos from her telling her friends and family members about the proposal and showing off the ring. What a genuinely special time, and to have a community of people around you excited for you is more than exciting.

Thank you to Kaleb for having me there to capture this special moment for you and Carli!
