So, I’m not one to brag but this week really deserves some love- pun definitely intended. We had 5 amazing proposals and they were all planned with such thoughtful consideration and loving touches. I was definitely impressed. Here are some highlights that you can adopt for your own proposal:

1. Pop the question and invite your family and friends to celebrate: whether they’re watching the action from a secret hiding spot or meeting up after the excitement, celebrating your brand-spanking-new engagement is always more exciting with your favorite people.

2. Photobomb! Our client dropped off photos of the happy couple in advance of their picnic- we laid them all over their table, pillows, rugs and even in lanterns- it was an explosion of memories! We can only imagine how touching it was to see all the happy smiles and remember the wonderful memories that accompany them- so sweet!!

3. Cue the music!! I was coming to clean up a proposal picnic late in the week- the sun had set, there was a dreamy mist that had come in and I heard the sweet, soft sound of acoustic guitars playing relaxing, beachy, Jack Johnson-esque music. I just figured, well, we’re at Sunset Cliffs, a random guitar-playing-sunset-aficionado is totally expected, until I realized that this was part of the proposal- our client had invited not only the musicians but also they’re closest family and friends (hello, tip #1!) It was MAGICAL! They made the most of this experience by bringing in ALL the senses- it was awesome. 

4. Last, but not least- hire a photographer. You’ll never regret looking at gorgeous photos of one of the happiest and most momentous days of your life- I promise. And if you’re going through all the extra effort to make it special, why not capture it forever?
