Jed & Katie’s Rodeo Beach Cliffside Surprise Proposal

Jed had a planned a weekend getaway on the Mendocino coast with Katie, and originally he was going to kick it off by proposing to her once they had arrived.

Alex & Lauren’s Proposal Over a Sweeping Golden Gate Bridge View

Last weekend, Alex brought Lauren up to a fantastic vista point with a sweeping Golden Gate Bridge view, for a small, romantic picnic… or was it? In reality, he was planning to pop the question and wanted a beautiful SF backdrop for that special moment. As the two walked up the hill and towards the bridge, I quietly got into position to capture it all. Lauren was very, very excited — if she hadn’t been eagerly waiting for this moment for a while, it certainly looked that way to me! — and even wiped away a joyful tear as Alex asked for her hand in marriage.
