Jason and I have been friends for years. We worked together at Apple for years, which should tell you everything you need to know. But in case you aren’t familiar with their hiring practices- Apple is infamous for hiring GOOD people. Like genuinely Good hearted, kind, funny, talented people. (Not saying they always get it right, but in this case- they did)

Fast forward to April of 2025- Jason asked me to come out to Big Sur- where he and his girlfriend Meghan both ran the Big Sur International Marathon. (They’re crazy!) Funnily enough though- they didn’t know each other when they ran the race.

Jason + Meghan actually met on the airplane going home from the race. Talking nonstop for hours. So when he asked me to photograph his proposal to Meghan in the same place they were once strangers that ran the same path, now two people in love- forever on that same beautiful path- of course I agreed.

The actual proposal took place at the lookout for Bixby Bridge- the iconic and historic 714 foot long bridge they ran across together- but separately. I was able to capture the moment without Meghan seeing me (somehow he proposed at the time when no random people were around to photobomb. It was perfect and she was so shocked and shaking!

After the initial shock and the happiness at her new ROCK- we went to Pfeiffer Beach- which just felt like we were in a movie.
