Conor planned a beautifully detailed Denver Botanic Gardens proposal with flowers, a private setup, and even a surprise engagement ring balloon. If you’re considering a proposal at the Botanic Gardens or searching for the best urban proposal spots in Colorado, this real-life story will inspire your planning.

Conor and Sisana’s Love Story
Conor and Sisana’s love story began on Hinge and spanned six years, including a period of long distance before Sisana returned to Denver. For their proposal, Conor wanted a meaningful, and private moment surrounded by the beauty of the Botanic Gardens.
He rented a private space at the Denver Botanic Gardens to avoid the crowds. Then worked with us and a friend to set up a table, flowers, champagne, and a giant balloon shaped like an engagement ring — a surprise for Sisana.
One of our associate photographers, Elisa, captured this proposal and engagement session. Before the day of the proposal we scouted the space and coordinated with Conor to plan timing for the best lighting.
When Conor and Sisana arrived, Elisa pretended to be photographing nearby flowers. Conor gave Sisana a long hug — the signal for Elisa to capture the proposal moment. Then, with the city garden as a backdrop, Conor dropped to one knee and proposed.
After she said yes, we documented their excitement and spent time walking through the Botanical Gardens, capturing photos among flowers, greenery, and beautiful landscapes.
