Rose Garden Engagement

I’m so excited to share B.J. and Nicole’s Rose Garden engagement session on the blog. I met Nicole at the boxing class at Victory MMA a couple of years ago, so when she got engaged and talked to me about doing their wedding photos I was very happy for the opportunity.

When talking to Nicole and B.J. about their engagement, we used the proposal as an inspiration for the shoot. B.J. and Nicole like to go on runs and live near Balboa Park. His brilliant plan was to catch her off guard on one of these runs. He got his friends to put up some signs along the trail leading into the Rose Garden in Balboa Park that told the story about a lucky guy who met a beautiful girl that he wanted to marry. He ended up on one knee under a big tree and asked her to marry him. For the session, we returned to their tree and re-created the proposal.
