Carmel & Big Sur Proposal Portfolio

Every proposal in this portfolio was a real, unrehearsed moment — captured along the coastlines of Carmel by the Sea, Big Sur, and Monterey. From intimate cliffside proposals with scattered rose petals to full floral setups with 1,000+ live roses and cold sparklers, each session reflects the couple’s personality and the natural beauty of the California coast.

Proposal Video Portfolio — Carmel & Big Sur

Video captures what photos can’t — the tremble in your voice, the exact words you said, the sound of “yes.” These proposal videos were filmed in 4K from two angles simultaneously, with wireless audio recording the moment as it happened. Locations include Carmel Beach, Point Lobos, Garrapata State Park, and private coastal cliffs throughout the Big Sur coastline.
