If you’ve ever dreamed of a proposal that feels straight out of a romantic movie, this one is for you. This Laguna Beach surprise engagement session was full of creativity, emotion, and unforgettable moments—starting with a treasure mapand ending with a ring at the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

This couple’s story began with a playful idea that turned into a beautifully planned proposal. He handed her a hand-drawn treasure map and invited her on a beachside adventure. Each clue led her through sandy paths, ocean overlooks, and small surprises—building anticipation with every step.

But nothing could have prepared her for what was waiting at the end of the journey.

She arrived at a secluded cove in Laguna Beach, where a simple yet symbolic “X” was drawn in the sand. Just beyond the “X” was a stunning lace tent picnic setup—decorated with vintage lanterns, soft blankets, and charcuterie for two. The warm California light created the perfect golden-hour glow.

As she stepped into the center of the “X,” he took her hands, got down on one knee, and asked her to spend forever with him.

She said yes.

What followed was a joyful, intimate engagement session capturing all the emotion of the moment. They danced in the waves, laughed through happy tears, and cuddled inside the tent as the sun set over the water.

Highlights from this Laguna Beach Proposal:

• Custom treasure map with clues leading to the proposal site

• Romantic lace tent picnic with coastal styling

• A symbolic “X” in the sand marking the spot for the proposal

• Golden hour portraits with Laguna Beach cliffs and waves

• Playful, barefoot moments dancing and splashing in the ocean
