About This Surprise Proposal

Couple hugging after their Seattle proposal and saying yes on the beach

Semiahmoo Resort was a very special place for A & M as they shared their first anniversary together here. On the same day as their second anniversary, they made the trip back to this resort but this time, A had something up his sleeve. He wanted to propose after dinner, at the beach, and during sunset. A hired me, unbenowst to M. He told her that he hired a photographer to take couple photos for their 2-year anniversary. She initially was not happy about being sprung up a photographer for couple photos. She loosened up, however, smiling and having fun while I captured some portrait photos of them walking along the beach. A brought M to a sandy spot on the beach and got down on 1 knee, pulling the ring box from his sock and proposing. I was so glad to have captured that moment of surprise, happiness, and love. It was a truly magical day! She was very happy to have had a photographer after she found out the plan behind it all!
