How They Met:

David asked Sophie to marry him the instant they met, three years ago at a San Francisco bar.

David booked the Picturesque Park Proposal package and added a musician to serenade them with their favorite song after he popped the question.

David was sitting and chatting with friends when he saw her approach out of the corner of his eye.  Their groups of friends were chatting.  He immediately thought she was the most beautiful person that he had ever seen, and was determined to start a conversation with her.

So he got creative.

“I decided to move from the standard pick up lines and exploit the fact that I was a foreigner, selling the idea by letting her know if she’d become Irish and I’d become American,” David explained.

She accepted, and they spent the rest of the night planning their fictional wedding, a telltale sign of events to come!

“It probably seemed super weird to everyone, but it’s a funny story now that we are wedding planning for real.”

She was immediately drawn to his height and his Irish accent.  He was attracted to her beauty and was charmed by the ease of their conversation.  Despite just meeting each other, there were no awkward silences or lulls when they spoke.

“It was like meeting an old friend after many years,” he revealed.

How They Knew:

For David, the connection was instant. 

He says he knew it the very night they met that they had a future together and was planning to ask her on a date, “After the appropriate amount of time (to appear like I was much cooler than I am),” he joked.

Sophie says there wasn’t a specific time that she knew she had found The One.  But the more time they spent together, the more it became apparent that they were meant to be.

“I can’t imagine what my life would be like without him,” she gushed.

The Marriage Proposal:

When David was ready to pop the question, he wanted everything to be perfect. 

He carefully selected the location based on Sophie’s love of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the good times they shared.

He chose Crissy Field as the location of his San Francisco marriage proposal because it was a place where the couple often went for strolls and caught up after a busy week.

“I knew that proposing here meant that when we go on our weekend walks, we can look over at the spot where it happened and remember the good memories created on that day,” he said.

He reached out to Paparazzi Proposals to make sure that a blanket, chilled champagne and a dozen roses were laid out at the picture perfect spot on the shore, with sweeping views of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.

David knew that Sophie loved her grandmother’s ring, and wanted to include it his proposal while still giving Sophie something that was all her own.  So he used the diamond from the ring in a new setting designed especially with Sophie in mind, from  Hollingsworth in Petaluma, California.

He made sure that all of their proposal day, from their stroll down the beach to the genuine look of happy surprise on Sophie’s face when he presented her with an engagement ring, was captured with surprise engagement photography!

Many might avoid the idea of having a long distance relationship with someone but Nathan and Kellie’s love beat the odds.

When you’re willing to put the work into your relationship, the result is happiness and joy. Long distance relationships aren’t easy but these two lovebirds made it work and now, they just have to decide which part of California will they be residing in to continue their story.

Nathan and Kellie met casually through mutual friends who had no intention of setting them up. Little did the friends know that they would somehow speak to one another and hit it off.  Kellie, who resides in Northern California and Nathan, who resides in Southern California, worked hard to keep their relationship strong despite the distance. Communication is the element in their relationship.

The state of California is huge and even so, Kellie mentioned that she had never been to San Francisco. In addition, she had never been to the Coit Tower. During a work trip, Nathan got in contact with the tower manager and shared his plans of proposing there. The staff was more than welcome and they also provided a private tour. Kellie had no idea what was going to happen. In addition, with the help of Paparazzi Proposals, our photographers were there to capture the moment. The images of her jumping up for joy will forever be on Nathan’s mind. The light that comes in through Coit Tower is the same light that’s shining on Nathan and Kellie’s future. Congratulations on your engagement!
