On a cloudy Spring morning, Jose drove Lissette down the iconic coastline of Big Sur with the surprise of a lifetime planned. Jose had reached out to me a few months before their trip to California with the hope that we could plan the perfect proposal for his girlfriend.
I spent some time scouting and using Google maps and vidoes so that Jose and I were on the same page and had the perfect plan choreographed. One thing some people stress about is how to surpise their partner while also having a photographer ‘hide’ in plain sight. Honestly, it’s so easy to use my large bag as a secret camera bag, dress like a hiker, and be taking in the sights somewhere nearby the proposal spot all while watching closely. It’s truly thrilling!
With the sound of the crashing waves below and the breathtaking view stretching out before them, Jose positioned Lisstte and asked her to turn around to look at the view so he could take some photos of her. With her back turned, he gave me the thumbs up and got down on one knee with the ring in hand. Overwhelmed with emotion, Lissette nodded tearfully and said ‘yes. After celebrating, we hiked around the cliffs to my favorite spots to take some epic photos.
