Hi, I’m Hoami (Hwah-me) your favorite San Diego surprise proposal photographer and lover of all things sweet and full of heart.

I’m an extrovert introvert who loves to laugh, dance to 80s, 90s, and 2000s music, and chase sunsets along the San Diego coast. You’ll often find me with my camera in hand, capturing real, joyful, and candid moments that tell your story.

As a San Diego photographer, I specialize in surprise proposals, engagements, intimate weddings, and lifestyle sessions — the moments filled with love, laughter, and genuine connection. Dear Darling was inspired by love letters and the small gestures that remind us how beautiful it is to love and be loved.
