Derek and Natalia were already set to get married — they’re having a small ceremony in a few weeks — but Derek made sure his bride would get the proposal she deserves. Originally he wanted this to be at the nearby Hawk Hill, but as I waited there for them, the clouds rolled in; due to its high elevation, Hawk Hill poked right up into the low-lying clouds that day, obscuring the view. So I quickly texted Derek to go to plan B, and I hurried down the hill before they arrived. When they reached the lookout point, Derek brought her over to the Golden Gate Bridge overlook to pop the question. Natalia was happy beyond words, and I’m very excited to share a few photos of this perfect Battery Spencer surprise proposal!

Chris really went all the way with the thought and planning that went into his Lovers’ Lane surprise proposal.

AJ & Sabrina’s sunset proposal at Battery Spencer was (of course) an incredible moment for them, and also a very exciting time for us as well. AJ had been discussing his plans with me for weeks, and I just loved how excited he was — he’d text me every couple of days, and I could see and hear his anticipation bubbling through, even though of course we had never even met.

Aldo & Kim had talked about marriage and even started planning bits of their wedding together… but he needed to propose for real of course. While on a trip to our beautiful city of San Francisco, the two of them took a short trip up to the Golden Gate Bridge overlook at Battery Spencer just before dinnertime, and Kim got her perfect proposal from her now-official fiancé.
