Joni Cobarrubias began taking photos around 10 years ago with a digital camera her parents bought her in high school. What started with graduation photos has turned into a profitable business, taking photos of couples\u2019 special moments in her cinematic, unique and warm style.<\/p>\n
She never expected to go viral over a favor for a stranger \u2013 a favor she\u2019s still hoping to fulfill.<\/p>\n
While shooting one couple\u2019s engagement photos, she unwittingly captured another couple\u2019s engagement while at Windansea beach, snapping two cinematic shots from afar. The moment happened on October 18th during the daylight, on the corner of Bonair Street and Neptune Place.<\/p>\n
\u201cI looked that way, and I saw this couple together, facing each other,\u201d Joni said. \u201cIt looked like they had just had a proposal. I didn\u2019t actually see him get down on one knee … It was a really cute moment. She was holding flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n
She later posted the photos on social media, asking for help finding the couple, as they had scurried away before she could give them the photos she had taken.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought the power of social media might be able to find them,\u201d Joni said.<\/p>\n
The video has garnered one million views and hundreds of comments from all over the world.<\/p>\n
Still, she hasn\u2019t found the couple.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people have pointed that they maybe don\u2019t want to be found. Maybe it\u2019s a secret thing,\u201d Joni said.\u201cIf they are out there and they find the video, I\u2019d love to at least give them the photos and I can always take the video down.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joni Cobarrubias began taking photos around 10 years ago with a digital camera her parents bought her in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":90151,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[50019,48656,930,74,76,75,50020,50018],"class_list":{"0":"post-90150","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-couple-search","9":"tag-engagement","10":"tag-la-jolla","11":"tag-san-diego","12":"tag-san-diego-headlines","13":"tag-san-diego-news","14":"tag-search-for-couple","15":"tag-windansea-beach"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
