Proposals are one thing you want to remember for the rest of your life. It’s the first step in your road to forever. So why not book a photographer to document and preserve the memory of your surprise proposal?

As a Malibu based photographer, I love photographing surprise proposal in my hometown. It’s so exciting and honestly such a rush.

Here’s what’s included when you work with me:

  • Guided location planning - I help recommend the best Malibu beach or coastal setting based on privacy, light, and tide for your proposal.

  • 🤍 Styling support - outfit guidance focused on neutral tones, texture, and effortless coordination.

  • 📸 Gentle direction & prompts - so nothing feels stiff or forced, just natural connection.

  • ⏱ 24 Hour Sneak Peek - So you don’t have to wait weeks to see your images. You can share them right away!

  • 🖼 Small, complimentary Print Credit - That way your proposal images aren’t just stuck online forever. You’ll have tangible prints you’ll cherish forever.

Availability is super limited because New Years Eve is only one day. Reach out as early as possible to book your New Years Eve Proposal in Malibu.
