Trent & Jeryn’s Baker Beach Surprise Proposal with Cute Puppy

Proposals (and photo shoots in general) with dogs have always been super exciting and fun for me. And I think Cooper, the cute pup you’ll see below, felt the same way! As soon as he walked onto the beach, it was like he had found freedom, and he ran around enjoying the expansive stretch of sand at Baker Beach.

Jason & Erin’s Golden Gate Bridge Sunset Hour Surprise Proposal

This proposal will go down in our books — and memories — as one of our most special, one that we’ll be remembering fondly for many years to come. Jason had prepared a special scrapbook of photos to give to Erin to recap their journey thus far, and also to symbolize the (literal) new page they’d be adding to their story that day. He managed to get her up the trek to the top of Slacker Hill without giving away the surprise, and the book was waiting for them, carefully positioned at just the right spot. They took a few moments to flip through the book together, and as you can see below, she was absolutely ecstatic when he asked the question. [ read more … ]
