Why Choose Big Sur Proposals?
Planning the perfect proposal can feel overwhelming, but we make it simple. We specialize in providing custom, luxurious proposal setups and photography throughout the Big Sur, Monterey, and Carmel area. From guiding your location choice, setting up every detail, to capturing the exact moment you get down on one knee, I handle everything so you don’t have to worry. Unlike other photographers who juggle weddings, families, and everything in between, I specialize ONLY in capturing proposals—ensuring that this once-in-a-lifetime moment is handled with precision, care, and experience. When it comes to proposals, there are no second chances—you deserve a professional photographer who knows how to get it right the first time. This isn’t just another photo shoot; it’s the beginning of your forever.
Included in all of our surprise proposal packages:

Proposal Photography & Couple's Portrait Session
We capture the moment you propose as well as a couples session afterward.

You'll receive your edited full resolution images from the day in an easy-to-use online digital gallery. Here you can view, download, print, and share your photos with friends and family.

Customized Location Ideas
Where you choose to propose really does matter! Personalized proposal location ideas to suit your mood, style, and vibe. Let us use our local knowledge to guide you.

Local Vendor & Lodging Suggestions
Need recommendations for the best bakery or florist in town? That's what we're here for. We can help you find the perfect AirBnB or an amazing hotel with ocean views.

Unlimited Photos
I deliver unlimited images from each session. This means I deliver every single photo of reasonable quality that was important to the day. This is usually between 50 and 150 edited images. Sometimes more! Never less.

NO Beach or Travel Fees
We think it's silly to charge fees to use all the best spots. No hidden fees or travel charges ever!
