He invited his partner for a hike at Sunset Cliffs, but she had no idea about the surprise he was carrying in his pocket.

With bright blue skies and the sun glistening over the ocean, it was the picture-perfect date in San Diego.

His girlfriend never expected for what would happen next.

While she took in the amazing view, he dropped down to one knee. She turned around overwhelmed with emotions and, of course, said “YES!”

Our sneaky photographer was waiting in the distance, capturing every moment.

After all the excitement, our photographer revealed himself for an impromptu portrait session, because an engagement wouldn’t be complete without one!

Isaac shared with us the inspiration behind his beach proposal, and the story of how he and Laura met and fell in love!

Their Love Story:

Isaac and Laura first met online.  After exchanging initial messages, they decided to meet up in person.  Conversation and laughter flowed easily on their first date.  They found out they had a lot of common interests, including music.  Isaac is a lawyer by day and a saxophonist in his free time, which Laura found extremely charming!

It was clear from the first time they met in person that they had something special, and their initial feelings continued to grow the more time they spent together.  Isaac says he knew very early on that Laura was the one for him!

The Marriage Proposal Plan:

Isaac knew he wanted to incorporate the beach and their mutual love of music into their engagement.  With these initial ideas in mind, he reached out to Paparazzi Proposals to help him plan and capture a stunning shoreside marriage proposal. After chatting with one of our proposal experts, Isaac decided our Beautiful Beach proposal package was the perfect addition to their engagement.

The Engagement Ring

Our paparazzi-style proposal photographer discreetly snapped away as Isaac serenaded Laura before proposing with a stunning engagement ring from Jared’s!

After the initial shock wore off, the pair shared a champagne toast to celebrate, and took in the stunning ocean views, before our photographer introduced himself and joined them for a post-proposal portrait session!

After the engagement shoot, the happy couple concluded an incredible day with a celebratory dinner at their favorite nearby restaurant!

So when Andrew was ready to propose, he knew that this was where he wanted it to take place. He told Lilly they were going to watch the sunrise, and while she took in the views he dropped to one knee and presented her with a stunning custom-designed ring from local jeweler Charles Koll!

How They Met

Andrew and Lily first met at the community center they both worked at during the summer of 2008.  He was a lifeguard, and she was working with preschoolers.  Though they attended the same middle and high schools, they never got a chance to know each other well because their schools were so large.

Andrew was entranced the second he was introduced, and asked her out on a date during their first exchange, but Lily initially declined!

“Her hesitation attracted me to her even more,” he gushed.  “After a relentless pursuit of sweet talking and ‘coincidental’ encounters, she finally acquiesced to a date and the rest was history!”

How They Knew

Andrew said he knew when she accepted his invitation to go on that first date that she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

“I was giddy with emotion, and they were giving me a hard time about the situation, skeptical whether or not it was going to work out.  Their doubt really had no effect on me as I remember telling them then that she was the one and I would marry her,” he said.

After a few years of dating, Lily was the first one to bring up marriage (“surprisingly,” added Andrew). 

“Although I knew she was the one for me, in typical guy fashion it took me a little extra time for my head to catch up with my heart!”

The Proposal

Andrew purchased his ring two months in advance, and worked with the jeweler to customize it.  He handpicked the main stone, and the band engraved with the first letter of his last name.

He set about making the plans for the big moment, and picked out Kate Sessions park for its unique, happy and wholesome feel, which he knew would be the perfect environment to start their journey together as husband and wife.

Keeping it all a secret from Lily was hard for Andrew, but well worth the wait for the perfect proposal moment!
