At Missouri State University during the summer of 2018, Casey and Jack first met.
They instantly hit it off and began their journey together. Fast forward six years—through new universities, new jobs, and new homes—they decided to fly to San Diego for what Casey believed was just a fun weekend getaway to run a half marathon. Little did she know, Jack had a much bigger plan in mind.
He reached out to me looking for help planning and capturing the perfect proposal. I suggested a few beautiful spots around San Diego—Sunset Cliffs, Windansea Beach, and some hidden gems in La Jolla—but the one that really stood out to Jack was the South Overlook in Torrey Pines.
Since neither of us had been to that exact location before, I went there ahead of time to scout it out. I took reference photos and videos and sent Jack detailed instructions on how to get there and exactly where to stand so we could capture the moment in the best light and angle.
When the big day arrived, everything came together beautifully. The coastal cliffs, the calm ocean, and the soft light created the perfect backdrop as Jack dropped to one knee. Casey’s reaction said it all—it was an emotional, joyful moment, and I was honored to be there to capture it.
