Pranav & Nikhita’s Hiking Proposal Overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge

The most appreciated surprises are often the least expected. Pranav and Nikhita went for a morning hike up to Slackers Hill, one of my favorite places in the Bay Area, with its stunning view of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco — but of course, she didn’t suspect the true purpose. I love that they’re both dressed in casual hiking gear, complete with a backpack, hat, and sunglasses, just having a fun hike on a beautiful morning, just like they had done many times in the past. But then, after briefly taking in the panoramic view, Pranav knelt down with the ring he had hidden, and he said the words that would take their relationship to the next stage. Her reaction says it all 🙂

Congrats, P&N! We’re so happy to have been a part of your special hiking proposal moment!

Under the golden hour evening sun, just the decor by itself was breathtaking, but of course what was really memorable was the proposal itself.

When the couple arrived, Amaritpal gave his touching yet lighthearted speech, recounting how he knew she was the one ever since he slid into her DMs [ read more … ]
