Darrell contacted me about photographing his marriage proposal to Ashley a few weeks ago. They were flying in from Austin, Texas for the weekend with the idea of getting their pictures done at the beach followed by going to a Padres game. Ashley knew about getting her photos done, but no idea on the proposal. I suggested the wedding bowl in Cuvier Park since I knew I could hide behind a tree or bushes there and he could tell Ashley that the photographer was on the way running late which would allow time for a surprise proposal.
Of course there was a wedding there so the rocks one block north worked out better. I had a good vantage point from the hill above and by lying on the ground Ashley could not see me. I sent Darrell a text letting him know that I was in position. He went for it. She said YES!
