Finally, I’m back photographing proposals in Big Sur after the long closure! Damn, it felt good to photograph my first proposal back since the start of the pandemic. Big Sur has been closed for MONTHS, and Q proposed just days after it reopened (keep up to date on COVID-19 closures here). It was so cool […]
C + B, from Reno, Nevada, returned to a spot (Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur) they had great memories from on their last vacation, this time with their two pups (Huck + Finn, so cute!) in tow. But this time, C surprised her with a ring in an engraved wooden box. When I say it […]
Just like in the movies, LA-based N proposed to S by hiring a local Big Sur pilot to fly over the Ventana Big Sur property pulling a banner that said, “Marry me, Sophie.” So sweet, so romantic. She was very surprised and they both were so happy. I love being around this magical energy created […]
A surprise proposal at Ventana Big Sur, followed by a happy, carefree session to celebrate at Pfeiffer Beach. This NYC-based couple on vacation here in Big Sur was kind, fun to be around, sweet, andddd they got their MBA’s from Harvard and Stanford. Plus, they dressed and looked like THAT. Truly a golden couple!
Big Sur is magical. Proposing and getting engaged is the most magical, surreal moment in perhaps a lifetime. So, it’s no surprise so many guys choose Big Sur to propose to their partners. I shoot dozens of proposals a year here, and so I thought I would share a few of my favorite spots to […]
I’ve been waiting for a client to choose this favorite spot of mine to propose! It’s one of the most spiritual, special spots to me. The redwoods grow in almost a perfect circle, often called a fairy ring, and he proposed right in the middle. I heard there are only 25 of these fairy rings, […]
Leading up to Eden’s proposal, it rained for three days straight..and it was the first rain I had honestly seen since moving here in May! He had a cliffside picnic in Big Sur planned for his proposal and I was totally stressing. I figured it would start raining or be too cold and windy and […]
Paul contacted me about photographing his proposal on a cliff in Big Sur. This story has a great ending but HOLY hell it was terrifying as it happened. He had seen photos of a ceremony I shot at this one unmarked turnoff and wanted to propose there. So I told him where it was. Since […]
I could photograph proposals every day and never get sick of it. I mean it when I say it is an honor to be present for such a significant moment in otherwise strangers’ lives…and it gives me a happy love bubble high. This was a fun one because he proposed during the session as a […]
