Will asked Liz out on a date last summer, to hike the trails of Arastradero Preserve, Liz's fave nature spot in Palo Alto. They packed a picnic and Will brought along a bottle of bubbly. Will had thoroughly convinced Liz that this was just another normal date. Little did Liz know, the ring was not at the jeweler's shop like she thought; it was on the hike with them.

After rambling through the golden grasses to a gorgeous outlook shaded by a gigantic oak tree, Will took advantage of the perfect moment, and to Liz's surprise, he popped the question! "Oh my God," Liz kept repeating excitedly -- and once she caught her breath -- "Yes!"

How totally magical that we got to to retrace their steps to their special spot for their engagement photos session last weekend :) We feel honored to be able to celebrate the wonderful memory of their proposal with them. We could not have asked for more beautiful weather or for a more sweet and caring couple to spend the afternoon with to commemorate their engagement!

Congratulations Liz + Will!! We are so happy for you, love birds!
