Big Sur Proposal
Rebecca and Julia are engaged!!! Rebecca reached out to me a few months before their trip to Big Sur with a plan to surprise the love of her life. I absolutely loved working with Rebecca; she was so intentional and decisive in what her vision was. Deetjens was the perfect proposal spot, easy to meet and plan with a beautiful backdrop. Julia plays the guitar, and I loved that they included that as part of their story. Rebecca proposed right in front of their cabin, the Castro cabin, and then we adventured to the mountains and meadow for some couples portraits after. Congratulations, you two!!!
