Marriage Proposal | Louise & Ken | Windansea Beach

A surfboard marriage proposal!  Ken contacted me about doing a photo shoot with his girlfriend Louise before he leaves for Medical School. They met at UCSD and Louise is now a chemist. Should I comment on their great chemistry? 😉 The unsuspecting Louise did a great job on styling wardrobe for their “photo shoot experience”.


Note the surfers walking in the background. Ken asked them to “get out of the way!”

They flipped their surfboards shocking Louise, then Ken flipped open the box!

She said YES!

    I couldn’t be happier knowing my sister is with a man who brings out all the wonderful sides of her. Yesterday when I was looking through all those old pictures of us all before you two dated, I couldn’t help but smile at how much fun we even had then. Now when I see these pictures, I see the same happiness but a deep love.

    Love you both so much. ChristinaReplyCancel

Marriage Proposal | Emily & Alex | La Jolla Cove

They met in school and have been together over four years. Emily had no idea of Alex’s intention to propose so he went all out in his plan to surprise her. They flew in from Kansas for the July 4th weekend.  After they had appetizers and happy hour at George’s at the Cove they hiked up Coast walk trail while I followed at a distance until Alex found a good spot to pop the question……


looks like she said yes!

Congratulations Emily & Alex!

Karl Strauss Brewery Wedding, Lisa and Skyler | June 2

Definitely the funniest wedding vows I’ve heard: “Lisa, if we were on a sinking boat and there was only one life jacket, I would really miss you!”— “Skyler, I promise to be true to you, and cherish you. and no matter how many Zombies attack, I promise to have your back and always do the double tap. I promise to break your balls always, and forever make fun of your fear of clowns.”

The Bridesmaids:


The Ball & Chain cake topper was a hit!

“Bride gets thrown in koi pond” a new tradition at Karl Strauss 😉

Her Vows and the ceremony dance off….

Congratulations Lisa & Skyler!
