Gerald & Diane get engaged!

First of all, we would like to congratulate Gerald & Diane on their engagement. According to Diane, she said there was no way he could hide a secret like that from her. Diane had no idea and was very surprised!! Gerald, my man, good job and mission accomplished!!

My wife & I photographed Gerald's brother's wedding 2 months ago (check out denise & paul coughlin on our blog!). When Gerald decided to pop the big question, we got a phone call for us to capture this special occasion. On the big day at La Jolla cove, I was following and watching while shooting from a distance so that I wouldn't be noticed. I wore my baseball cap and shades and acted like a pesty tourist...now I know what paparazzi must feel like! At one point, Diane looked up and noticed me taking a picture from the cliffs above so I then pretended like I was shooting the landscape. I think it work which is why she had the surprised look in the pictures below!! Then the proposal happened...what an awesome awesome moment!!

I'm honored to be a part of this occasion ...congrats again guys!! We look forward to photographing you two on your big day!
