Surprise Marriage Proposal Photographer _Cayucos_CA_Beach_California_engagement photographer_Debbie Markham

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!

Central Coast, CA Wedding Photography { Christy + Phil }

Central Coast Wedding Photographer -Moonstone Beach Wedding_Christy+Phil_Reception at Robins_Wedding_Photographer_Debbie Markham_Cambria_CA-4839

Today was a gorgeous day for a California destination wedding.  I got to photograph this simple wedding on Moonstone Beach in the Central Coast of California. An added bonus was having my daughter Zoe as my 2nd photographer!  The outdoor reception was at the beautiful gardens of  Robin’s Restaurant.  I met Christy and Phil a year ago, took their engagement photos, and loved their easy-going plan for a small wedding on the beach in Cambria, California with about 50 people. I love getting to work with people more than once being a Central Coast Wedding Photographer!

Cambria is such a sweet coastal town near Hearst Castle exactly in the middle between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and there are no distractions, no traffic or sirens, and amazing local businesses to serve weddings.  This sweet coastal community is a lovely spot for a destination wedding event, directly in between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
