Surprise Proposal and Sunset Engagement by the Ocean | Torrey Pines

Sweet, charming, and full of love—that’s how I would describe Daniel’s surprise proposal to his love Rachel at the Torrey Pines Gliderport in San Diego. With its rugged landscapes and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, this dreamy location could not have been a more fitting backdrop for their magical moment.

Plotting For Romance

Daniel plotted for weeks, working with Rachel’s cousins to make the surprise proposal even more romantic. Rachel and Daniel had both cherished this location throughout their relationship, loving the sight of the beautiful blue ocean meeting the rugged cliffs. As they stood at the top of the hill with the ocean breeze blowing, Rachel was thrilled when Daniel got down on one knee and asked her to be his forever — she said yes, of course!

A Fun-Filled Post-Proposal Engagement Session

Following their happy proposal, I captured Rachel and Daniel’s excitement and love in an enchanting sunset engagement photoshoot. The beauty of the cliffs and the ocean served as a stunning backdrop to this exciting moment. Their smiles were infectious as they danced, laughed, and simply enjoyed each other’s company.

Proposal Surprises Continue at La Jolla Cove

But the surprises didn’t stop there! When our session wound down, Rachel was whisked away by Daniel to an elaborate picnic party at the beautiful La Jolla Cove, surrounded by their closest friends and family, to celebrate their engagement. He deliberately staged things so they could have their proposal and photos in private, but immediately share their happiness with their loved ones. Laughter filled the air, as they toasted to love, friendship, and creating a future together.
