Minutes to Spare, a Lifetime Ahead | Brice & Alicia’s San Diego Yacht Proposal
When Brice’s photographer canceled before his surprise proposal, he contacted Last Minute Photoshoot through Instagram. Stephanie and Son coordinated with Gold Coast Yacht Charters to capture his proposal to Alicia aboard Ripple Effect, a 48-foot Sea Ray on San Diego Bay. Beforehand, they drove from Balboa Park to the marina near Mitch’s Seafood to test the route and assess parking. After morning shoot and a last-minute parking scramble, they boarded before the couple, posing as charter content creators. Brice proposed with the downtown San Diego skyline behind them, followed by champagne and engagement photographs. Their experience inspired Proposals at Sea, combining private yacht charters, personalized proposal planning, photography, and captain gratuity through one coordinated booking.
