I loved being Roberto and Rachael’s local Carmel photographer for not only their sweet family sessions, but also their surprise proposal at the end! It’s been a whirlwind of special occasions to capture this month. This one was so amazing for combining my favorite things: family sessions and surprise proposals! You get the best of both worlds.
And Rachael wasn’t even the only one surprised that day! Her family session of nine turned into a surprise proposal at Carmel Beach after I photographed the couples. The last pair was Roberto & Rachael, and then he got down on one knee. Talk about a grand conclusion! I bet this family session turned surprise proposal will certainly be a memorable one! Read on for all the smiles!
How Did You Two Meet?
“We met in college through mutual friends and will have been together for five years this September. I knew Rachael was The One since the day I met her. She’s such a warm and caring person, there isn’t just one thing that I love most about her. But her smile always makes me feel so happy! Rachael makes me laugh everyday! When we’re competitive with and or teasing each other is always when I laugh the most.” – Roberto
I really loved hearing what Roberto and his sister, Jacqi, had to say about Rachael. That she’s nothing short of the kindest and sweetest person they know is just so heartwarming! Roberto had Jacqi help him plan so the three of us could keep the surprise, well, a surprise! We make a good team. The proof is in the joy and the looks on everyone’s faces! I mentioned earlier that Rachael wasn’t the only one surprised that day. This family session will really be one for the books!
Surprise Proposal Carmel Photographer
After the excitement of their family session turned surprise proposal, I took Roberto and Rachael to Big Sur for some classic blankets-and-champagne fun! There were a handful of places I had in mind- Bixby Bridge and Garrapata to name a few. There’s nothing like dreamy portraits on the sand! And can I just say, I ADORED Rachael’s blue dress in this session! Baby blues (and pinks!) are some of my favorites in photographs, especially by the water with that magic hour sunshine.
The cherry on top though, as their local Carmel photographer, was the next day when we did a sneak peak in my studio! I got to show them their photos over coffee, and even hear about their potential wedding location in Alaska! I offer this to all AGS couples. If sneak peaks sound like something you’re interested in to get you even more excited for your gallery, I’m happy to do that for you!
