Tom & Allison’s Palace of Fine Arts Dreamy Surprise Proposal

Tom had a plan. He knew the Palace of Fine Arts could be a little busy on a weekend evening, but he also knew it would be worth it. The architecture and the light all came together to create the most beautiful backdrop for the moment he asked Allison to marry him.

And what a moment it was.

She was completely surprised (and very much delighted), her reaction full of emotion and joy. The kind of reaction that makes us feel so lucky just to witness it. As Tom knelt down with the soft glow of sunset behind him, it was like the whole scene paused for them.

The Palace, with its European charm and romantic flair, was a perfect match for the two of them. We took some time afterward for more photos, letting them enjoy that just-engaged feeling while capturing a few sweet portraits. The excitement, the laughter, the “can you believe this just happened?” — it was all so genuine and a joy to capture!
