One of the most magical stages in a couple’s journey is the marriage proposal, and it’s a moment we absolutely love capturing. The anticipation, the emotion, and the sheer joy of the surprise are unparalleled. However, surprise proposals are logistically challenging, and that’s where our expertise comes into play.

We arrive early to scout the perfect location, ensuring the backdrop is just right for this unforgettable moment. Constant communication is key; we’re in regular contact with the proposer, coordinating the timing and details to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.

Our goal is to capture her genuine surprise—the moment she realizes that he’s proposing. There’s something incredibly special about documenting her reaction: the tears of joy, the laughter, and the love in their eyes. Catching her off guard is truly the best part, and we work diligently to stay unnoticed until the big reveal, ensuring she has no idea what’s coming.

Over the years, we’ve documented hundreds of proposals, each one unique and heartwarming. Whether it’s on a scenic mountaintop, a quiet beach, a romantic vineyard, or a bustling city park, the essence of the moment remains the same. It never gets old—every proposal brings its own story and emotions, making our job as photographers incredibly rewarding.

Capturing Mia and Levi’s engagement session in the sunny beauty of Napa and Sausalito was a true delight. While we can’t control the lighting, we mastered the art of handling the bright sun to highlight the profound love they share.

One of our favorite shots features Levi in a playful Tarzan pose 😉, hanging from a tree, while Mia stands below, and they share a kiss. Every image speaks volumes about their connection. These two truly love each other, and it shows in every picture we captured. ❤️

We recently had the honor of documenting A + B’s intimate wedding at the historic St. Peter’s Chapel on Mare Island. Built in 1901, this charming chapel is perfect for small weddings of 50 guests or fewer.

Their love story is truly special. They met as teens in the mid-1970s, took different paths, and reconnected last year. “I was never letting her go again,” said B. Engaged since October 2022, their reunion felt natural and seamless, as if they had been together all along.

Their wedding at St. Peter’s Chapel was a beautiful celebration of enduring love. It was a privilege to capture their journey!

Capturing Authenticity:
One of the joys of photographing proposals is capturing the genuine emotions and reactions of the couple. Rain or shine, these moments are filled with love, excitement, and anticipation, and it’s our privilege to document them for posterity. By embracing the weather and the unique challenges it presents, we can create images that are not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful and authentic.

Memories That Last a Lifetime:
At the end of the day, what matters most is the love shared between the couple and the memories they create together. Rain may dampen the ground, but it can’t dampen the spirits of two people in love. By choosing to embrace the elements and carry on with the proposal, couples demonstrate their resilience and commitment to each other, and we’re honored to be a part of that journey.

So, to all the couples out there wondering if we’ll still capture their proposals in bad weather, rest assured that the answer is yes, without hesitation. Rain or shine, we’re here to ensure that your special moment is preserved in all its beauty and romance. Because when it comes to love, nothing can dampen its magic!

I seized the opportunity to capture precious memories with a spontaneous photoshoot in their new home. Though they may have been married for three years already, the love and connection shared between Jasmin and Caleb radiated through every frame. Their new house, with its character and charm, served as the perfect backdrop to showcase the next chapter of their journey as a married couple.

Let’s not forget about their furry family member! Their beloved cat, the true ruler of the household, gracefully joined in on the photoshoot, adding a delightful touch of whimsy and playfulness to the scene. 😻
