From San Francisco Bay to Pebble Beach


Boyang couldn't wait to propose to Chenchen during their anniversary trip and stay at The Lodge at Pebble Beach. He had been meticulously planning every detail. These two travel often, playing golf courses wherever they go, and Chenchen had dreamed of playing a round at Pebble Beach Golf Links. As part of their trip, they had booked a round of golf at Pebble Beach Golf Links to cross that course off of their bucket list! Boyang knew this was the perfect opportunity to pop the question.

Proposal on Pebble Beach Golf Links Iconic 7th Hole


When I say Boyang was meticulously planning, I mean meticulously planning. It's one of my favorite parts working with Proposal clients, they get so into every single detail! The amount of care and nerves that go into it all is just so beautiful. There's something so special about Proposals. He went over the details with me about 7 times and we even did a site visit to make sure we had everything right and planned for Proposal Day.


Well, as it usually goes, things didn't go according to plan.


Boyang was feeling good. Calm, focused on his game, relaxed with the gorgeous views. Then, as he got to the 6th hole, he started to get nervous. Then...they arrived at the 7th hole. Couldn't think straight. They completed the hole, then he began reading her a love note he'd prepared ahead of time to make sure he didn't forget anything.


Again, he was nervous. He stumbled through it and ended up taking too long at that hole and had to move on to the next. There he finished his love letter to Chenchen then got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.


She said YES!

Celebrated with Friends at The Bench Restaurant Overlooking Hole 18


They finished their round at the stunning Hole 18 (see a Proposal on Pebble Beach Golf Links 18th Hole) where Boyang surprised Chenchen with a group of their friends who were waiting for them at The Bench! They welcomed the newly engaged couple with happy cheers and celebrated them with brunch and some drinks.



Beach Mini Engagement Session with their Maltipoo


Later in the day, after they had a chance to celebrate with their friends, nap a little, and do an outfit change (they had a t-time of 7:10am so a nap was definitely in order), we headed down to a nearby beach to capture some Engagement Portraits!


They brought the bestest girl with them: Biubiu (yes, she has an Instagram and I've linked it so you can love her too).


We ran around the beach, taking pictures of the views, the cutest newly engaged couple, the ring, and obviously some family pics with Biubiu.
