I loved this Pismo Beach proposal/Ocean Sand Dunes engagement!

We ventured out on this Santa Monica Pier spring engagement.  The city and pier had sentimental meaning for these two because it was where Hector asked Araceli to be his girlfriend.  What we didn’t think of was that it was also Saint Patrick’s Day and that everyone else in California would want to be out […]

I loved it and my AWESOME couples were pretty much down […]
