Big Sur, California Coast Beach Proposal

Proposal
Written By Flora Gibson

Avi first contacted me when he graduated from dental school in NY. He had the ultimate surprise up his sleeve. He planned to propose to Neha his high school sweetheart during an upcoming road trip up the Big Sur, Hwy 1 coast.  Neha is the planner in the relationship and is rarely surprised, we worked hard to maintain the illusion of a romantic dinner and walk. I stood by a bush on a cliff pretending to take photos of the nearby rabbits when they approached the designated Big Sur to overlook! I got to capture her saying yes! It was such a pleasure to meet this sweet couple and capture memories they will share with their children & grandchildren one day.

C + N eloped last week at the beautiful Cannon Beach in Oregon. The fog slowly rolled in on their wedding afternoon as they got ready amongst their closest family members. They stayed at an Airbnb right on Cannon Beach, which was perfect for their first look. They had their ceremony with family and friends on Indian Beach with the beautiful black pebbles and driftwood, and shared cake on the tall beach grass. I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful wedding day!

In my opinion, one of the most beautiful places along the Oregon Coastline to elope would have to be Cannon Beach. The romantic coastline with its sandy beaches and large rock formations makes for a beautiful backdrop for your elopement. This guide will help you envision your dream elopement.

I’ve been shooting non stop weddings and elopements lately and even my adventure shoots have been arriving in long dresses which has made it hard to capture movement. I really wanted to have a full session shooting with a slow shutter, ZERO expectations of anything being perfectly in focus. I wanted rolling in the grass, running as fast as you can and gripping each other tightly. I was so excited when this couple responded willing to do it! With a brain that immediately wants to create when inspiration hits, I was so grateful for them coming out to spend the afternoon with me!
