Beautiful Windblown Surprise Proposal At Pfeiffer State Park | Cesar & Alina

Being Cesar and Alina’s local Big Sur photographer for their beautiful windblown surprise proposal at Pfeiffer State Park was such a delight! Cesar first reached out to me over e-mail and mentioned that he was interested in a proposal on the cliffs. Being a Big Sur proposal photographer and since we live so close to Big Sur, it made perfect sense to take advantage of California’s beautiful coastline! I enthusiastically said yes to the booking and was so excited about Cesar and Alina’s Big Sur proposal. I just love being a Big Sur Photographer!

Location Scouting

Before the proposal, I made sure to find Cesar and Alina the perfect spot. I have photographed proposals in Big Sur before, but I knew that I needed to find a location where I was able to hide and photograph while they faced the coastline. That’s part of the fun in being a local Big Sur photographer- you learn to play hide and seek! You can guess where we went based on the title, I’m sure, but when I found the spot, I knew it was perfect for these two!

Coincidentally, the spot that I found to photograph them at was the exact spot where they stopped to take in the coastline when they first went to Big Sur together! Like I said: perfection. I’m so glad I could capture their beautiful windblown surprise proposal at Pfeiffer State Park!

The Proposal Big Sur Coastline

Alina had been waiting a really long time for an engagement so she was suspicious early on. They were hiking at Pfeiffer State Park earlier in the morning, and noticed that Cesar was acting strangely when they went to change out of their hiking clothes to their current outfits. When they walked to the location for the proposal, Cesar dropped to one knee and she of course said yes!

Windy Portraits

If you know Big Sur at all, the weather can be really unpredictable! But beautiful windblown surprise proposal at Pfeiffer State Park was truly stunning. The day began foggily in the morning, and as we drove in, it started to lift. By the time we were all there, it was a perfectly sunny day. The wind began to pick up during portraits which gave us these incredible movement photos.
