Surprise Proposal in Carmel

Surprise Proposal in Carmel

Surprise Proposal in Carmel on 17 Mile Drive!!!! O M G I had so much FUN hiding-out around the back side of China Rock, to capture Jeff’s proposal to Amanda on the cliffs of such an epic road and golf course!

Earlier in the month Jeff texted me a “pin” on Google Maps where he would propose, and I arrived early to climb around the area for the best hiding spot. Everything about the day, from the Aston Martin car his grandfather gave him, to the fun-spirited demeanor of them both was perfect! Their smiles and genuine love for each other was infectious and even my face hurt from smiling so much!

I get butterflies waiting, and overflow with joy and excitement, so honored to witness such a special, intimate moment.

Carmel’s 17 Mile Drive is a natural beauty, with so many spots to stop and profess your love and propose! Text or email me to plan your Surprise Proposal in Carmel of the beautiful beach, mountainous or cliff-side locations on the central coast! It’s my favorite thing!!! I will travel 🙂

Surprise proposal at Sculpterra Winery

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.

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.
