Surprise proposal at Sculpterra Winery

Same Sex Engagement_Sculpterra Winery_Paso Robles_Gay friendly_Photographer

James’ surprise proposal at Scupterra Winery to Cary was amazing under a beautiful oak tree! I had been emailing James for months as he planned when and where he would propose. After deciding on Sculpterra, he reserved a table for wine-tasting, enjoyed lunch at the great food truck + acoustic live music. It was a a perfect day + a perfect proposal and I feel honored to be the engagement photographer for it.

James took Cary on a short walk from the wine-tasting table over to the majestic oak tree, and got down on one knee to propose. I was beaming! His surprise proposal at Sculpterra Winery was amazing and so many winery guests cheered and clapped!

Capturing surprise proposals + engagement photos fulfills my soul.

{ Beach Couple Shoot } Cayucos

Deciding on a beach couple shoot, after five years of being married, Derek and Viviane had a great, fun morning! They emailed me wanting some photos of themselves, besides their wedding photos, framed around the house. Staying in Cayucos, we met at the pier and got our day started with lots of smiles, hugs and laughs!

Meeting at 9am was the best time, with low crowds and soft light. Cayucos beach is awesome for strolling along, posing under the pier and then walking on the pier. This shoot was so beautiful and also lot of fun. We also walked north along the beach and under the street overpass to find a grassy area!

On vacation, a beach couple shoot is a wonderful way to capture some new memories and get cozy with each other! The bluff above the beach is also a great spot to meet!

{ Surprise Proposal } Engagement Photos in Cambria

Beach_Engagement Photos_Cambria Photographer_Debbie Markham_Surprise Proposal-172

Gene’s surprise proposal to Kelley in Cambria, CA on the cliff of the Pacific Ocean was the ultimate in natural light, and a beautiful setting! We texted to coordinate a meeting place across from The Sea Chest restaurant, and with the late rain this year, there were plenty of yellow wildflowers all along the cliff.

This is my absolute favorite photographer “job” I do… playing a secret agent and capturing the true JOY and EXCITEMENT of a couple intimately embracing the decision to DO life together! The happiness of the surprise and the joy Kelley exuded was contagious and I dwelled in my own delight behind the camera.

After Gene’s proposal we walked around and took Engagement Photos, because who doesn’t want some portraits on Moonstone Beach!!!! Lovely to use for announcements or Save The Date cards, and it’s such always wonderful time.
