Kevin Warn submitted a beautiful proposal he captured in front of the Hotel Del in Coronado, CA on December 30. Great Christmas present if you ask me! Sarah and Kyle look so in love, and we were more than happy to feature this proposal. Here is the background story of the proposal from Kevin:
“Kyle and Sarah were living up in San Francisco when Kyle got a design job here in Orange County, so he moved to Laguna Beach. Sarah came to visit during Christmas and Kyle thought Hotel Del Mar would be the perfect spot as Sarah spent a summer living in Coronado during her college days and Hotel Del Mar was one of her favorite spots. While Sarah’s family close by for New Years Eve, Kyle thought it would be a great time to pop the question so her family would be close by to celebrate. The plan was to set up a fake massage appointment as a reason to go to the hotel. They would arrive and he would go check in and say they were way early for their appointments and then go to the bar to get some champagne and walk the beach. At this time, I was suppose to walk up and say I am a local photographer trying to build my portfolio and was wondering if they would pose for a couple quick photos. In the middle of the shoot he would propose to her. Well shortly after they arrived he sent me a text, but accidentally sent it to Sarah instead. He thought for sure she found out, but luckily she didn’t check her phone. So I got a message saying that he was going to do it on his own and for me to try to get as close as possible. Well I followed them out of the bar and all around the beach without her knowing until he dropped down and proposed. She had no idea it was coming and I was photographing the whole thing!”

Congrats Sarah and Kyle!
Love,
