Using an event later that night as a convenient excuse, Ryan brought his girlfriend Anjali to the Palace of Fine Arts — one of the most iconic and beautiful San Francisco landmarks — for a sunset walk around the pond. As they stopped to take in the view, he asked her to face the rotunda for a photo, and at that moment he dropped to one knee behind her. [ read more … ]

Back to where it all began! Thomas brought Elizabeth to SF’s Alta Plaza Park, where they had their first date, for a walk last week. As they made their way around the park and took in the sights and sounds, he led her to an area with the familiar San Francisco city backdrop behind them, got down on one knee, and popped the question.

Matt had been thinking of proposing since February — nine months ago — and after lots of careful planning, it finally happened a week ago! To set an excuse to get dressed up (and to throw her off a bit!), they had scheduled a family photo shoot in the afternoon, before the planned proposal. Of course, that wasn’t the main event!

As he was planning his surprise proposal and considering possible locations, Cole decided he wanted a location with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Since San Francisco has been the home of their relationship together, the bridge is the perfect symbol of their past, present, and future. This particular spot at Cavallo Point is actually one I knew about but had never been to myself, so it was great to shoot a very unique set of proposal photos for Cole & Madeline plus a few more fun photos afterwards! I loved her reaction — so happy, surprised, and genuine. Congrats to both!
