Durell & Karla | Stanford Campus Surprise Marriage Proposal

Durell’s proposal to Karla at Stanford was thoughtfully planned, beautifully prepared, and perfectly executed. The two had met each other many years ago as Stanford students, and so it was fitting for the proposal to be at the Stanford main quad near the Stanford Memorial Church. Durell dropped by the day before to check out the area, and he even sent us a selfie of him in the spot where he was planning to propose so that we’d know exactly where to lie in wait.

Kushal & Soha | San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts Surprise Proposal Photography

With the help of Soha’s family (and us!), Kushal planned his proposal more than a month in advance. Since he lives in London and she’s local to the Bay Area, his trip was a complete surprise to her — but everyone else was in on it. He even told her he was in a data center to explain why he couldn’t pick up his phone! [ read more … ]

David & Jeremy | San Francisco Kite Hill Surprise Marriage Proposal

Let me start this by saying David and Jeremy’s proposal was an extremely emotional one, probably the most touching I’ve ever seen! How great was it, you ask? I couldn’t even see through my camera viewfinder at some points during David’s proposal because I was tearing up! I was so touched by the mad love between these two. David caught Jeremy off guard with this great surprise on their date night, and Jeremy was completely in shock! After responding with a yes, Jeremy decided to bend down on his knee to ask David the same question — so precious!!

D&J, your genuine love for each other created a magical moment that we’ll never forget. I’m so happy to announce that David and Jeremy are engaged!!!

E & A | Surprise Engagement Proposal at Battery Spencer

E&A flew in from Alabama for a trip to San Francisco for the Giants games, but little did she know, he had the proposal all planned out several weeks in advance! On the big day, the couple walked up to the overlook at Battery Spencer with its stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The fog was perfect — just enough to give them that perfect, soft light, and to give that romantic aura over the bridge. The timing of the fog was perfect too: literally within 20 minutes of their arrival, the bridge disappeared in the fog. I’m so happy that SF will mean a lot to them from this day forward 🙂

The two of them were so happy and are just perfect for each other. Congrats to E&A!

Our lovely couple, Nick & Maria, met in graduate school, and an important moment in their relationship was a trip they took to Africa. For the proposal, Nick wanted a spot that would remind them of a safari, so we suggested the Arastradero Preserve in Palo Alto, which with its golden grassy hills is a nice escape from the urban Bay Area.
