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!

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 … ]

When Patrick and Hannah first started dating several years ago, one of their first trips was to San Francisco, where they visited (among other things) Baker Beach and loved it.
