As a San Diego proposal photographer, I can tell you this: sometimes the best love stories involve a little fate, a hurricane, and a photographer yelling about a dolphin that absolutely was not there. Allow me to introduce you to Sadie and Josh. Before San Diego, before the ring, before the whole wait, is this...
As a San Diego engagement photographer, I get to hear all kinds of “how we met” stories, but Gabe and Karina’s has a little bit of everything: Bumble, long-distance date days, soccer, travel, church, family, the beach—and one very suspicious boyfriend. These two have been together for four years, and it all started on Bumble....
As a San Diego proposal photographer, I get to witness a lot of suspicious behavior. Nervous pacing. Secret phone calls. Someone suddenly becoming VERY interested in the weather. Ian kept saying, “It’s so beautiful out today”, repeatedly. Then: “Why don’t we stop by the beach?” Rachel had a sneaking suspicion something was up. Ian was...
As a Coronado engagement photographer, I can confirm that some beach proposals require a camera, a very convincing hiding spot, and, in this case, pretending to journal in a sand dune like a woman who had suddenly become extremely interested in her own thoughts. Cameron and Vy had been together for more than two years...
Being a San Diego engagement photographer has taught me that sometimes the best stories start somewhere completely unexpected—like Chicago, Phoenix, or, apparently, a Scottsdale bar. Kait had moved from Chicago to Phoenix and was still getting her bearings in a new city when life handed her a pretty excellent plot twist. She was working as...
There are plenty of reasons people search for a Pacific Beach proposal photographer, but every once in a while, a story comes along that reminds me why I never get tired of documenting these moments. Mike and Ana’s beach proposal wasn’t just about asking a question—it was about three years of airports, border crossings, monthly...
Being a San Diego proposal photographer has taught me one important thing: no matter how carefully someone plans a surprise proposal, there’s always that tiny chance the secret won’t survive the day. Ian somehow pulled off the impossible. He spent an entire vacation in San Diego carrying an engagement ring, acting completely normal, and convincing...
A Coronado Beach Proposal Photographer gets a front-row seat to some pretty incredible moments, but every now and then, a wedding proposal unfolds with layers of surprise that it’s impossible not to smile behind the camera. CJ somehow managed to pull off exactly that for Veronica. CJ and Veronica call San Diego home, so Coronado...
As a Coronado beach proposal photographer, I got to witness Antonio and Diana’s proposal. It had all the ingredients of a love story you couldn’t make up if you tried: a chance meeting in Florida, a long-distance romance, a travel nurse with a love for adventure, a return to the place where they first truly...
As a Coronado engagement photographer, I thought I knew where this evening was headed. Cute proposal photos. Sunset in the dunes. Maybe a champagne toast if we were lucky. What I did not expect was to become emotionally attached to seashells. Josh and Maya were in Southern California with their families celebrating their niece’s 8th...
As a San Diego engagement photographer I get a front-row seat to all kinds of love stories, but Kobe and Rachel’s felt like watching two people finally arrive at the place they’d been orbiting forever. Not just each other — though yes, obviously each other — but San Diego too, the coastal fantasy they’ve returned...
There are surprise proposals… and then there are Mac-level operations. As a Hotel del Coronado engagement photographer, I’ve seen some beautifully thought-out moments over the years. But this one? This one had layers. The kind of layers where every time you think the surprises are done, another emotional plot twist walks in wearing sunglasses and...
