Turns out proposing in San Diego with a hidden photographer, golden hour, and the Pacific Ocean is actually as good as it sounds ⠀ He planned this for months. She had no idea. ⠀ The spot. The timing. The sunset. All of it was intentional. And while she was taking in the moment, I was 50 feet away making sure every second was captured. ⠀ That’s the thing about proposals. They happen once. You don’t get a redo. You don’t get to say “wait, let me get my phone out.” The moment is either captured or it’s gone. ⠀ And the photos? She’s going to look at them more than you think. They’re going to her mom before the ring is even on her finger. They’re the first thing she posts. They’re the image her friends see when she tells the story. They’re framed on the wall five years from now. ⠀ San Diego makes it easy. Golden hour here is unreal. The beach, the cliffs, Sunset Cliffs, Torrey Pines, La Jolla. Every spot looks like it was made for this moment. ⠀ But the photos are what make it last forever....
