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.

Valerie hired me as her Proposal Photographer to capture her secret marriage proposal to her girlfriend Tyle. They vacationed to California from New York and Valerie proposed on a beach in Cayucos.  It was entirely wonderful!!! She gave Tyler a hand written love letter and at the end it said “Now turn around” where Valerie held her ring!!!!  These two brides are beautiful together, inside and out, and I am so thankful to be a part of such amazing displays of true love! Meeting couples so in love and inspiring is just a small perk of my job.

Congratulations Valerie and Tyler!

{ Michael + Katie } Surprise Marriage Proposal at Hearst Castle

Surprise Marriage Proposal at Hearst Castle by Debbie Markham

Being a surprise marriage proposal photographer is the best! It’s so exciting to capture emotions for them to cherish for years to come, especially when you know the couple. I’m thrilled to have photographed these dear friends at Hearst Castle, after we all enjoyed the walking tour of the Upstairs Suites.

Hearst Castle is an irreplaceable location for any romantic photo session. Many clients choose to propose after a tour of Hearst Castle, or you could choose to take engagement or wedding photos. Whatever the occasion, Hearst Castle has unbeatable views, great tours, and stunning architecture.
