Vi + Josh’s Surprise Proposal

Vi and Josh’s surprise proposal session took place on November 16, 2025, at Point Vicente Lighthouse in Palos Verdes, with sweeping ocean views and coastal cliffs setting the scene. The moment unfolded quietly and beautifully, surrounded by sea air, soft light, and the steady rhythm of the waves below. From the surprise itself to the joy that followed, the session was filled with genuine emotion, tender reactions, and the kind of connection that made the moment feel both intimate and unforgettable.

Grant + Ben’s Surprise Proposal

Ben and Grant’s story is rooted in Santa Monica, where they got engaged in July 2023 at The Point at the Bluffs, a coastal overlook that held deep meaning for them and was later lost in the January 2025 fires. The location remains an important part of their story, marking the beginning of this chapter of their lives together.

Their most recent session took place in September 2025 at Matador Beach during another visit back to Santa Monica. The energy between them was easygoing, playful, and full of affection. Grant brought his laid-back, go-with-the-flow spirit, even braving the cold ocean water without hesitation, while Ben kept things light with playful teasing and quiet, tender gestures. Together, they naturally balance warmth and humor, creating moments that feel honest, relaxed, and deeply connected. The result is a collection of candid images that reflect their genuine bond and the joy they share.
