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 Photographer _Hearst_State_Beach_Brittany_Daniel_Proposal

Hiring a photographer to capture a surprise proposal is a great idea!!! Such a fun job for a Central Coast Photographer!

Brittany just thought she was walking her dog with her boyfriend, meeting her parents in an hour for appetizers, and Daniel had it all set up! It’s so amazing to go back and view these treasured photos as one of the happiest days, and relive the feelings of having butterflies! Just before the proposal, while i’m trying to stay unseen, my adrenaline is always rushing. I am so lucky to witness the pure joy from surprise marriage proposals!

Coming from Utah to intimately speak their vows to one another made with only a minister, me the official witness as well as the photographer. I so enjoyed my time with Craig and Kate!  After the ceremony and some lovely portraits,, their spark for a few fun in-the-water ocean shots arose which was really fun! A beach elopement is great for any couple who wants to marry in a secluded location with limited guests, or even no guests like Craig and Kate! It’s such a beautiful way to focus solely on your partner and your vows.
