A Timeless Proposal at the Getty Villa

Jen and Joon

Some moments are so soft, so intentional, and so deeply beautiful that they feel like they were meant to be captured in a place with timeless elegance — and that’s exactly how this proposal at the Getty Villa unfolded.

Jen had no idea what was about to happen, and Joon’s nerves were as sweet as his excitement. Every glance, every laugh, and every whispered word between them built up to the magical moment when he got down on one knee. Seeing her reaction — the surprise, the joy, the love — made every step of the day unforgettable.

For Jen & Joon, the Getty Villa wasn’t just a beautiful backdrop — it was the perfect canvas for their love story. The quiet paths, reflecting pools, and elegant courtyards created intimate moments where their personalities and connection could shine. From walking hand-in-hand to their first hug after the proposal, every moment felt natural and real.

Watching them celebrate their “yes” reminded me why I love photographing love stories like theirs. It’s about capturing moments that are heartfelt, authentic, and uniquely theirs — moments they’ll remember forever.

If you’re dreaming of a proposal that feels romantic, intentional, and truly unforgettable — let’s make it happen. I’d love to help you plan something magical.
