Location | Malibu Creek State Park, Malibu
Kris and Paul met during their freshman year of college and became friends for four years. It wasn’t until they graduated when they started dating and have been dating for 4 years.
PROPOSAL STORY:
“From Kris’ perspective: Since we were still in the middle of the pandemic, he had to get a bit creative with his cover-up story. Because we hadn’t been out much since Covid started, he said he wanted to take me out to a nice dinner date (back when outdoor dining was still open). I actually put on some makeup and a semi-casual dress, and he drove us to our “dinner” without telling me where he was taking me. We pulled up to Pelican Hill Resort, which I had told him about in passing before. He said he had dinner reservations there, but we had some time to look around and enjoy the view.
After taking some photos/selfies, he led me down a path where he had a couple of our friends decorate the proposal set up (following his photos of the many mock-ups and trials he did). It took me about 20 seconds to register what was happening! He shared a very sweet speech, which prompted him to get very emotional, which then caused me to get emotional. He got down on one knee, and asked the question! It was the easiest yes. A few, close friends came down to take a few sneaky photos of the moment and celebrate with us at the restaurant there afterwards. He’s usually a terrible liar, but he pulled off an amazing surprise!”
FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THE GROOM-TO-BE?
“His weird matches my level of weird haha; he’s also very kind, generous in every way, and has such solid character.”
FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT BRIDE-TO-BE?
“She’s funny, dependable, and considerate.”
FAVORITE PART OF THE SHOOT?
“Sharing lots of laughs about how awkward we are in front of the camera, which actually helped us become comfortable! We also loved that we got to incorporate our hammock into the shoot, which we spent many dates over the years reading our favorite books in.”
