Silhouette Portrait Proposal

Hotel del Coronado Surprise Proposal | Rubin Pops the Question

Rubin had his pre-Valentine’s Day proposal planned for quite a while, and I loved getting to be in on the surprise. For this session, my son Steven second-shot for me and got some bonus angles, along with helping to arrange the candles and rose petals. It was fun having him along and watching him grow as a photographer. Scroll down and see how we pivoted this surprise proposal into a gorgeous sunset engagement session. Congratulations to the happy couple!!
