David & Tricia’s Proposal at the Chapel Steps to Bay Trail
After a tasty brunch at Cavallo Point, David and Tricia went for a short hike on the trails above, where they could get a nice view of the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge — and where I would be waiting to capture their proposal at the Chapel Steps to Bay Trail.
While pretending to take photos of birds on the trail (technically I wasn’t pretending — I actually was!), David and Tricia walked past me, and as they came to a clear spot, he stopped to give a short speech. You can see some of the very emotional moments that followed in the photos below! Congrats to the happy couple 🙂
