Planning to propose is one of the biggest moments of your life, and I'd love to help you capture it in a way that feels genuine, timeless, and completely stress-free. Whether you're planning a surprise proposal in Big Sur, Monterey, Carmel, Yosemite National Park, or anywhere else in California, I'll be there to help every step of the way.
From choosing the perfect location and the best lighting to helping you coordinate every detail and staying hidden until the moment you get down on one knee, I'll make sure everything unfolds naturally. After the proposal, we'll celebrate with relaxed engagement portraits while you're both still soaking in the excitement of hearing "yes."

The Process
Planning a proposal should be exciting not stressful. From the moment you reach out, I'll guide you trhough every step to make sure everything comes together seamlessly.
1. We Start Planning
Once you inquire, we'll discuss your vision, preferred date, and any ideas you already have. If you haven't chosen a location yet, I'll recommend some of my favorite proposal spots throughout Big Sur, Monterey, Carmel, or anywhere you may be.
2. Choosing the Perfect Time
Lighting makes all the difference. I'll help you choose the ideal time for your proposal, with golden hour often creating the most beautiful and romantic light. Together, we'll build a simple plan so you know exactly where to be and what to expect.
3. The Big Moment
On the day of your proposal, I'll arrive early and stay hidden so the surprise isn't spoiled. You'll focus on asking the question while I capture every genuine reaction, emotion, and unforgettable moment.
4. Celebrate Together
After you've heard "yes," we'll spend the rest of your session creating relaxed engagement portraits while you're both enjoying the excitement of the moment. Every proposal session includes up to 1.5 hours of coverage, giving us plenty of time to document both the proposal and portraits afterward.
