San Diego Proposal | Michael & Sam

This San Diego Proposal was such a treat! Michael and I had originally planned for the proposal to be at the cliffs in La Jolla, but when the forcast predicted rain, we changed course. We eventually settled on Balboa Park, one of my favorite places in San Diego. This is a wonderful place to shoot because it is stunningly beautiful and filled with unique locations. I have written several blogs on how to effectively shoot a portrait session in Balboa Park. Here all my blogs on Balboa Park if you are considering having a session here.

What to look for in a photographer for your San Diego proposal

I love working with soon-to-be grooms like Michael, who hire me for their San Diego Proposal! From the very beginning we worked together to make sure that everything would be as perfect as possible. I had such a wonderful time talking with Michael on FaceTime and making plans! He lives out of state, so he was relying on my recommendations. He was so fun to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. I even created a little map of where to park, the best route to walk, and where to stop and drop to one knee.

He was so excited to propose to Sam! He contacted me frequently to double check that we were as prepared as possible. No problem! That is what I am here for! When choosing a photographer for a proposal, make sure you hire someone who truly cares about you and your soon-to-be fiance. Zack and I made sure we were early, cleared the area of tourists, and even brought champagne for a toast! We also brought some cute umbrellas because of the rain. Michael and Sam were such a joy to work with and we are so grateful we could celebrate this time with them!

This is one of the most perfect spots to propose in San Diego! Iconic!
