Vilano Beach Mussallem Beachfront Park

Alex asked Teigan to go for a romantic walk on the Vilano Beach at sunrise. Right as the sun was about to come up, he dropped to one knee and proposed to her. She was completely surprised. After she said yes, we did a few pictures along the beach and then we wrapped up the session with some pics at Mussallem Beachfront Park across the street with that amazing sunrise light filtering through the trees.
