Sam & Kim’s Fort Funston Surprise Engagement

Sam & Kim’s Fort Funston proposal is one I won’t forget anytime soon. The couple started with a peaceful walk down on the beach, with waves rolling in and a soft layer of fog hugging the cliffs in the distance. But on the way back up, things took an unexpected turn: Kim had eaten something way too spicy earlier and was suddenly feeling really unwell, so Sam ended up carrying her up part of the long climb back, one step at a time. If you’re unfamiliar with this area… let me tell you, this is quite a difficult task!

Once they arrived at the beautiful overlook we had picked out, Kim caught her breath while Sam gathered his words. Then he dropped to one knee, asked her to marry him, and she said “yes” with the Pacific stretching out behind them. (As a side effect, I think Kim immediately felt a lot better!) We spent a little time afterwards capturing some sweet portraits along the edge of the cliffs under that soft autumn light, with a dreamy backdrop of fog behind them.

What a story they’ll get to tell about the day he literally carried her to their proposal!
