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.

{ 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.

True love is easy to see/feel in every photo I took of Marla and Ryan; I had a difficult time narrowing down which images to post!

Elegant engagement photos are so lovely, and exude the intimate connection between two souls.   I totally loved Marla’s beautiful red long skirt too – it was an awesome contrast to the colors of nature all around.  Moonstone Beach in Cambria has it all, sand, cliffs, trees, rocks, boardwalk, trails…

What a true pleasure it was to capture Marla + Ryan’s love… I’m blessed!
