A Midnight Mountain Proposal in Lofoten - Hunter and Maria

Some stories feel like they belong to the landscape.

Hunter and Maria’s proposal happened high above Lofoten, just before midnight, with a mix of light rain, glowing sky, and the kind of atmosphere that feels almost unreal. I waited at the top of the mountain while they hiked up together, Maria completely unaware of what was about to happen.

When they reached the summit, Hunter surprised her by getting down on one knee. He had even carried a photo album filled with memories from their life together all the way up the hike. She had absolutely no idea, and her reaction was pure joy, shock, and happy tears.

The weather shifted constantly, mist rolling around us and soft light breaking through the clouds. It felt wild and quiet at the same time, which is exactly what I love about proposals in Lofoten.

The next day we met again for a relaxed engagement session on the beach. After the excitement of the night before, everything felt calm and grounded. Barefoot walks, laughter, and quiet moments together as they soaked in the first day of being engaged.

This is one of my favourite things about documenting proposals here. You get the big emotional moment and then space afterwards to simply be together and enjoy it.

Hunter and Maria’s story was adventurous, intimate, and completely genuine. A midnight mountain proposal followed by a quiet beach day. The perfect reflection of how quickly Lofoten can shift between dramatic and peaceful.
