Truly the most epic proposal in the Laguna Mountains of San Diego that absolutely filled my heart with so much joy! These two babes made the journey from Indiana with plans of a mentor session (Cari is also a bomb ass photographer) and for what she thought was just a couples session at the time. Little did Cari know, that Chris had reach out to me weeks prior with the idea of a surprise proposal during our shoot together. He even sent the ring to my house to hang on to for this big moment! I still can’t believe we were all able to keep this secret for as long as we did! She had absolutely no idea about it!! I WAS SO FREAKING HONORED to be apart of this incredible San Diego Laguna Mountains proposal for these two! And even more honored to photograph their wedding next year!!!! BEST DAY EVER! I love these two more than anything!

“I could write a book on how thankful I am for Nikki’s incredible talents. She is a master in her craft. I’ve swooned over her images for years now and finally seeing myself in her work is a dream come true. The moments she is able to capture are unlike any other photographer. The energy she brings to the session immediately helps you feel comfortable and ready to just have a blast. She also went above and beyond to help my (now) fiance with secretly planning his proposal to me during our session. I can not thank her enough. She’s the most genuine person and having her in your corner is truly a blessing! These photos are everything I ever dreamed about. I mean, I flew from Indiana to California to have these done because I knew she would blow it out of the water and SHE SURE DID. Thank you again, Nikki. You have a heart of gold and a talent that deserves recognition.” – Cari and Chris
