La Jolla has always held a special place in Rick and Kristin's hearts, it being the spot they first met when attending school together at UCSD. Nowadays, they live in the Bay Area so when the two had an opportunity to take a road trip down South to San Diego, Rick knew it was the perfect moment to bring things full circle and pop the question to propose.

On the day-of, Rick wanted to keep things inconspicuous so packed a backpack with champagne and planned to take Kristin on a hike near their old campus in La Jolla. Reminiscing on those first days, their hike ended at the gliderport overlooking the beach. With the conditions being an ideal day to paraglide, the sky was filled with an array of colorful gliders parading the coast and creating a magical backdrop to surprise Kristin. Her reaction to the moment was so priceless! 

Afterwards, we cracked open that champagne to celebrate and show off Kristin's new set of bling. It's always such a treat to be a part of such a special life moment and document all the smiles.
