While on holiday in San Francisco, G had a big surprise planned for his girlfriend. He had actually been planning it for some time, but this would be the perfect opportunity to finally put it into action. [ read more … ]

Dennis & Christine met seven years ago, and their story quickly grew together. Once they knew they had each found the one, Dennis asked Christine’s parents for their blessing, then waited patiently until he had just the right opportunity. (Perhaps it’s more correct to say that Christine waited very patiently for Dennis to finally find that opportunity.) In the end, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect proposal than where he ended up popping the question three years later: on a hike, overlooking the Banff ice fields, at sunset.

Anna & Adam’s first look was one of our favorite first looks ever. [ read more … ]

Last week, Scott & Carina took a trip down from their home in Seattle to visit Napa and San Francisco. Early on, Scott had decided on a Napa Valley winery proposal, but he was a real planner and wanted the details to be perfect: before deciding where to propose, he spent a loooot of time researching various wineries, evaluating pros and cons, and asking for my opinion on different spots. Eventually, he decided on Castello di Amorosa, with its picturesque vineyards and the grand castle overlooking it all. [ read more … ]
