A Last-Minute Pivot That Led to a Perfect “Yes” — Surprise Proposal San Diego at the La Jolla Coastal Trail
A carefully planned surprise proposal in San Diego turned into a last-minute pivot when crowds forced a location change just minutes before the moment. With less than 30 minutes to adapt, we relocated from the Gliderport to the La Jolla Coastal Trail, quickly scouted a new overlook, and captured the proposal discreetly so nothing felt staged.
