Pavan and Shubhreen’s proposal was one of the most unique, creative, and artistic proposals we’ve ever witnessed — and we’ve seen a lot of proposals! The two enjoy painting together, and after settling down in a quiet spot at Gamble Garden, they sat down back-to-back, with Pavan starting to describe a scene for Shubhreen to paint, as they had done in the past… but this time, it would end a bit differently!

Just over a year ago, we quietly hid in the (figurative) bushes as Jason and Xiaonan took a walk through the quiet and sheltered Muir Woods, until they ended up on one of the wooden bridges where he proposed (and where, of course, she said yes!). They decided to do something a little different and have an oceanside sunset engagement shoot, out in the open, under a warm sunset sky with the fresh ocean breeze all around them. [ read more … ]
