It's a family affair, and I couldn't be more excited to have been a part of this season in my dear cousin Rachel and Julian's life!

The night before the proposal, I got a call from Rachel's sister telling me it was about to go down. Packing commenced immediately, and by morning we were in the car making our way down to the coast - and JUST in time to help set up the proposal spot and find a place to hide to snap photos (not so easy on a wide-open deserted beach!).

The storm clouds broke just as Julian and Rachel hit the beach, but luckily it was short-lived and made for a pretty romantic proposal!

Before we all packed up to leave this glorious beach, we woke up early on the last day of our stay - and these two welcomed the sunrise lookin' fine and in love.

Two things: 1. Nothing better than seeing someone you love happy, and 2. Julian is one of our new favorites (welcome to the family, BRO!)
