Happy weekend, everyone!! Here in southern California, the weather is absolutely spectacular. I wish I had planned for a beach excursion, but I am still enjoying the sunshine. After a morning out and about, I’m currently organizing things in the office before date night. ;-) But, I wanted to swing by and spread a little sunshine to those of you who may not be fortunate enough to live here in soCal. One of my darling couples (and one of my newest!) recently shared their proposal story with me. When I heard about it, I knew I had to see photos and share them with you!
Scott, the groom-to-be, sent the following quirky photos to his fiancée over the course of a few days. It featured their garden gnomes engaged in various activities… leading up to some treasure-hunting. ;-) The day the gnome stumbled upon the “treasure,” Jess came home to find her sweetie all dressed up and waiting on the front porch with their dog, Bacon (yes — their dog’s name is Bacon. Could they be any cuter??). Scott proposed right on the steps, next to the flowerpot with the ring in it. It was just the three of them and as Jess says, “It was perfect.” My sis, Anna, has a slight obsession with gnomes so I know she is going to fawn over these photos. I hope all of you get a smile out of this very sweet proposal~



Looove this one!! Look at his tiny whisk!
These baking photos are especially sweet since Jess used to work at a cupcake shop and is an avid baker herself.




Jess & Scott — thank you for letting me share these adorable images! I cannot wait for your wedding this fall!!
See you all next week!! xoxo, Angel
