Martin’s Beach is a hidden gem of Half Moon Bay with an interesting story (see Wikipedia). Past its very unassuming entrance is a quiet beach with calm waves, coastal cliffs, and an absolutely perfect ocean sunset view. It’s a spot that Ozzy and Ashley had stumbled upon and shared memories together in the past, and it’s where he chose to ask for her hand in marriage. Check out Ozzy & Ashley’s Martin’s Beach surprise proposal below.

This was a very exciting moment to witness, and I love the energy jumping out of their photos 🙂 As they say, “never turn your back on the ocean” — you might just get a surprise if you do!

Bajis and Michelle’s wedding was a perfect day — elegantly styled, warmly personal, and thoughtfully socially-distanced. Even in hindsight, it’s almost unbelievable that this whole event was put together in a month and a half, after their first two venues and plans didn’t work out due to the pandemic. In addition to the family & friends who attended in person, a wider audience joined in on Zoom to celebrate together virtually. All in all, while on its surface it had the hallmarks of a 2020 wedding, at its core, Michelle and Bajis’s intimate wedding at The Club at Ruby Hill was a most timeless celebration of love and union.

Long-distance relationships are hard (we would know!)… and certainly even more of a challenge in COVID times. So we have a ton of respect and admiration for those couples with the strength and dedication to make it work. Last weekend, R’s girlfriend was going to be in town for just a couple of days, and he had a beautiful surprise proposal planned out way in advance at this San Francisco lookout. We were pretty excited to have the opportunity to capture it all for them! And we even managed to sneakily record a video of the whole thing [ read more … ]

Blair and Fernando are a bit like us a few years ago — in a cross-border long distance relationship between the US and Canada. But Blair decided to “put a ring on it,” so to speak, in a more unique way 🙂 Flying and traveling have been a big part of their lives, so what could have been more appropriate than an airport terminal surprise proposal right after Fernando got off his Air Canada flight into SFO?

I had been wondering when Daniel would propose to his girlfriend Michelle, and as it turns out, that day finally came last weekend. I was really excited in the days leading up to it… until the apocalyptic smoke hit the Bay Area. If you’re reading this from the future when those memories are (hopefully) a long-distant past, there was a week in 2020 when much of the west coast was engulfed in flames, and the resulting smoke covered the skies, turning everything orange. So Daniel had to reschedule, and luckily, yesterday (one week later) ended up being perfect for his horseback proposal on the beach. [ read more … ]
