Marianne and Stephen are such a perfect match!! They are two of the most kind-hearted people I have met and it was such a pleasure exploring the Griffith Observatory with them both. It was a very busy day there (quite honestly, the last time I visited was in high school so perhaps it was normal?!) but none-the-less, it was enjoyable. 🙂 Check out our day below and read on for some words from Marianne!

What is your proposal story?

He suggested we go on an early Saturday morning hike in Malibu and said he hired someone to make breakfast and set it up for us at the end of the hike which overlooked the ocean. When we got to the view point, there wasn’t any food waiting of us. Instead, he proposed and hired a photographer to capture the moment.

How did you meet?

We met online and then had our first date at a little brunch spot in Santa Monica.

Why did you choose your engagement location and what do you love about it?

We enjoy being in nature and it was a beautiful spot to explore.

What is your most valuable piece of advice you can share with future couples planning their engagement session?

Be true to yourselves and have fun!

What is your favorite thing about being engaged?

Being comfortable and confident that you’ve found that person you have been looking for.

Congrats on your engagement Marianne and Stephen!!

XO,
