I was SO over the moon to be Devin and Mali’s local Big Sur photographer for their surprise proposal! We had it all planned out: Mali was going on a girls trip to Carmel with her sister and friend, meanwhile, Devin and I were putting together the surprise proposal. He even already had locations in mind for the day- Garrapata State Park, Bluff Trail, Painter’s Point- to name a few. He knew he wanted to pop the question in Big Sur for the area’s beautiful scenery and that’s as good a reason as any to propose here! Read on for this stylish surprise proposal!
What Do You Love About Your Partner?
“Mali is kind, easygoing, and puts up with me. I love her funny faces and how just being herself brings humor. We’ve been together for three-and-a-half years now and while I can’t name a single moment, I knew she was The One and was ready to propose about six months ago. The two of us show our love in hugs and kisses. And our nickname we call each other, ‘Didu’. I want today to be a really special occasion for her and our relationship. I’m confident it will be just that!” – Devin
Surprise Proposal Photographer In Big Sur
Mali was with her sister and friend on their trip to Carmel so the plan was for the ladies to have their dinner reservations at 5:30. Then, they’d suggest going to the trail to see the sunset for golden hour. Devin will already be there and they’ll walk her close to the spot. Finally, Mali will see him and he’ll say a few words and propose!
I love when your partner and friends can come together to plan surprises like this. It’s such a fun and thoughtful collaboration to put on together for a special person in your lives. And WOW, everyone was so dressed to the nines, I just loved it all!
Devin wore this really dashing blue suit and Mali’s red skirt, leather jacket and her HAIR- they were both SUPER stylish! Devin and Mali’s parents were there to celebrate their popping the question too! It was so sweet to be their Big Sur photographer for their surprise proposal and to not only capture the surprise proposal itself, but also their families’ reaction to this exciting day.
Celebrating With Champagne
After shooting their surprise proposal, we went down to the beach to celebrate with champagne. After all, celebrations and champagne go together hand in hand, just like these two! We did a few portraits on the trails as well. It was all such a blast! I was beyond honored to have been their Big Sur photographer for their surprise proposal.
