{ 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.

Holiday Card Family Photos

Holiday Card Family Photos-Family of Four_Dogs_Portrait_Family of 4_Debbie Markham_Photographer_Cambria_CA

Seven  years ago The Kasper Family started an annual Thanksgiving weekend with me. . .  I take their holiday card family photos!   Each year we explore a new local area with their two dogs, and the best part is we laugh along the way!  This year we walked all around Ocean Point Ranch and Leffingwell Landing at the end of Moonstone Beach.  Besides the results of professional photos each Winter, they also create a lovely hour of quality family time!

This family of four along with their dogs makes my job of taking holiday card family photos really fun!  I feel fulfilled capturing their family love, and feel delighted each year to see the two boys taller and more mature.  An hour once a year to take family photos can lead to hundreds of posed and candid shots.  Above all, The Kasper Family has made awesome books each year with all the holiday family photos as well!

Engagement Photography on Moonstone Beach

Natural Light-Sunset Photo Shoot - Engagement Photography

Cambria, CA is full of rolling hills, country roads and a variety coastline. It’s perfect for a proposal destination. Plus it’s great for some stunning and unique engagement photography.

Engagement photo shoots are important because you can connect with your photographer prior to your wedding day. This makes your wedding day even more comfortable and suitable to your taste. The session gives you an hour together kissing, laughing and strolling hand in hand. Additionally it’s special to have a lot of photos NOT in your wedding dress. We’ll take photos in your favorite street clothes to have up around your home. Maybe even frame some for the tables at your wedding!
