Carmel By The Sea Surprise Proposal

I had the honor of photographing CJ and Jennifer’s Carmel by the Sea Surprise Proposal. We had such a blast together on this beautiful day in Carmel. With the weather being gorgeous, we captured all the perfect shots along the coast. Stunning views along the mountains and coastline with views of the ocean were all in frame! The shot of them in front of the cliff with the water crashing into the mountain was breathtaking. For more about these two and their surprise proposal, keep on reading!

CJ and Jennifer met through a mutual friend they went to college with. They started dating but nothing came of it until they reunited two years later at a house warming party. These two hit it off instantly and the rest is history! They are such a sweet couple and I really enjoyed getting to know them. They have incredible chemistry and you can tell they are definitely meant to be together. When CJ got down on his knee to propose in front of the beautiful mountains, sparks flew. It felt like a movie moment and he did such a great job making this day special for Jennifer.

Surprise Proposal Carmel California

This surprise proposal in Carmel was one for the books. After taking portraits along the coastline, we decided to take a stroll through the mountains where they were surrounded by fields of green and beautiful rolling hills. It was so romantic as they celebrated their big moment. CJ did such a great job selecting the ring. It is an elongated cushion with yellow gold band ring from Vrai. Absolutely gorgeous! We captured plenty of portraits of Jennifer putting this beautiful diamond on display. It was such an honor to be a part of this special day and I hope to work with CJ and Jennifer in the future again.

We love asking our couples questions in our questionnaire before shoot date to get to know them a little better. Here are a few from CJ and Jennifer’s questionnaire!

What do you love most about your partner? 

“How much she cares about the things that are meaningful to her. Her love and commitment to family. Her intelligence – mental, emotional, all of the above. We laugh at everything!” – CJ

When did you know they were THE one?

“On date three, when I returned from a Bend golf trip and we watched the Wedding Singer at her apartment.” – CJ
