Proposal on top of Glacier Point at Yosemite on September 29th at 7:30pm.
Our universe has existed for nearly 14 billion years. The earth has existed for 4.5 billion years. Our specie has evolved for 200 thousand years, and civilization as we know it has been here for about 6,000 years.
I’m happy to be part of this cosmic timeline and explore this universe with Annie. To all my followers, thank you for being a part of this moment.
Annie and I star gazing on a clear night.
It really was a magical evening — we got to watch the sun set over half dome and then we witnessed one of the clearest night skies I’ve ever seen. If you look closely in the photo above, you’ll see the Andromeda Galaxy. It was a perfect night for an engagement… and astrophotography!
The milky way, completely visible with the naked eye.
The photo above is a portion of our Milky Way galaxy. I honestly didn’t do much retouching to this image. I simply took 9 photos, aligned them, and then did a median stack to reduce the noise. Then I bumped up the exposure two stops.
It was romantic, and I think Annie really enjoyed the scenery.

I know Annie likes her diamonds — and hopefully, she loves this one. ^_^
Love. Love. Love!!! I loved everything about that night. It was perfect. ^__^;;
