Peyton wanted to make his first visit to San Francisco with Bianca an extra special one for them to remember for a lifetime. He didn’t originally intend for this to be a Fairmont rooftop garden proposal — originally, Peyton had planned to pop the question along the edge of the San Francisco Bay, but the weather forecast started looking worse and worse and had us looking for alternatives.

Eric chose a unique and memorable location to propose: the rooftop of his apartment in Telegraph Hill. It was oddly-shaped with random obstacles and gaps with 30-foot drops scattered across the top, but that just made this shoot more of a fun challenge 🙂 And its perfect view — with the majestic National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi serving as a backdrop in one direction, and the Transamerica Pyramid in another — couldn’t have looked better than it did under the golden sun that afternoon.

Upon arriving, Eric gave his well-rehearsed speech to Lauren, who was quite visibly overjoyed as you can see below. She said yes, of course! Congrats to both of you!
