Simran & Amita | San Jose Municipal Rose Garden Surprise Marriage Proposal

Simran had been planning his romantic Labor Day weekend surprise to his girlfriend Amita for more than a month, and contacted us after deciding on the San Jose Rose Garden. The Rose Garden is really great this time of year, as it’s covered with flowers of all colors in full bloom. The couple strolled through the garden taking lots of flower photos (Amita had actually gotten a new camera!) while we followed loosely behind.
