Yesterday, as the sun began to set over Coronado Beach, casting golden hues across the soft, undulating dunes, Katie and Nick made their way towards the dunes. The sound of gentle waves lapping against the shore created a serene backdrop as Nick guided Katie along the sandy dunes. This is one of their favorite San Diego beaches, a place filled with shared memories and moments that made their relationship grow. As they reached a secluded part of the dunes, Nick paused to get down on one knee in a spot where he had arranged a small area with soft blankets, a few candles, and a bottle of champagne nestled in a basket with flowers. It felt intimate, a world away from the bustling beach.

Jack and Laura had a perfect end to their summer. Jack planned an amazing dinner out in Cardiff by the Sea and a romantic walk on the beach, which turned into the biggest surprise for Laura. He got down on one knee and she said YES!!! So many happy tears and big smiles. And the sunset in Cardiff showed off as their back drop, the perfect end to a perfect day.

Yesterday’s surprise proposal was full of golden light and joy! Will and Nicole climbed up to the top of the cliff, right above dog beach and I quietly hung back and watched their proposal unfold. Will was nervous enough that Nicole could tell something was up and was rubbing his back, but the surprise of the proposal had them both in happy tears. I love the joy that proposals bring and me getting to jump in once it’s all done and get their radiant joy, is amazing! And the big bonus of the evening, the cherry on top if you will, was the sky! It put on a stunning performance, as the backdrop of these sweet people’s love.
