Anniversary_Photo Shoot_Solvang_ Couple Photography _Santa Ynez_Santa Barbara_Santa Ynez

We drove around Santa Ynez and Solvang to find the perfect locations for Niki and Jeff’s couple photography session. There are so many locations in California that would be stunning backgrounds to any romantic or family photo shoot. Solvang and Santa Ynez are just two of many amazing locations to share your couples photography session. Niki and Jeff perfectly illustrate how beautiful these photo sessions can be. This fun filled couple is so gorgeous and in love; it radiates through their pictures.  How do I keep getting so lucky sharing time with these lovely couples? I love my job!

Surprise Proposal Photography in Cambria, Ca { Engagement Destination }

Surprise Proposal overlooking Moonstone Beach in Cambria

Hiring a photographer to capture your surprise proposal (if you ask me) is THE BEST decision you can make!!!  A few weeks after each one, most couples email me saying how much they cherish their photos and how amazing it is to re-live that moment and see the joy between them.

It’s so fun for me to connect with the person planning it, and to help map out an exact location with great views that’s private and uniquely special to them.  Then pretending I’m a tourist just taking photos of the ocean or wildlife, while they stroll along, waiting for the big moment, is really exhilarating.  I LOVE being a surprise proposal photographer!  Capturing authentic reactions and beautiful engagement photos which exude such joy is the BEST!!!!

This blog post features another beautiful example of true love between Pooja + Devesh!

Rainy Day Surprise Proposal Photography in Big Sur

Doug was singing in the rain after his surprise proposal to Samantha up in Big Sur this winter!  And her pink rain boots were so awesome!  They were on vacation driving from SF to LA and arranged with me to meet at Sand Dollar Beach across from Plasket Creek Campgrounds in Big Sur.  Then the weather decided to up it’s game! Surprise proposal photography will keep you on your toes!

We were not afraid.

I am still so impressed that they departed Carmel at 7:30am to make our 9am proposal time!  I was walking the grassy fields adjacent the parking lot with my clear umbrella at 8:55am, looking like a tourist, and sure enough, right at 9am they strolled by both snuggling underneath a big navy and white umbrella.

Samantha’s pure joy and excitement with Doug’s surprise proposal will make anyone elated for them, and I feel so happy for their connection.  Their engagement shoot and fun photos after in the intermittent rain were adorable.
