Big Sur Beach Proposal // Kevin and Abbey

Proposal
Written By Flora Gibson

Kevin Contacted me about 3 weeks before his scheduled trip to Big Sur. He had looked through my past proposals and knew exactly where he wanted to ask Abby to be his wife. I helped him plan an intimate proposal on a local beach in Big Sur. Because there is no cell service in Big Sur a surprise proposal can be difficult at many locations, especially if you aren’t familiar with the area. I often help guide my couples to locations like this one where your GPS will work!

When Abbey first saw the blanket, champagne, and rose petals she wouldn’t sit down because she thought it was someone else’s! It was so sweet to watch her shock and joy when Kevin got down on one knee. Check out that ring!! Kevin and Abbey met in medical school and had their first kiss on NYE 2016 and have been together ever since! I feel so honored to be a part of their love story.

Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. It is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, with its charm and unique vibes. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and their ceremony under the redwoods, followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. What a beautiful day!

Claudia and Avery Eloped this week in Carmel, California, with both their best friends, all the love in the world for each other, and nothing but laughter. We adventured to the cliffs where their friends led them through heartfelt vows; they celebrated with a champagne spray and shots. We explored Garrapata Beach for couples portraits and their first dance on the beach. They had the most beautiful, heartfelt day, and I felt so lucky to be a part of it.

Nicole and Samuel eloping on the picturesque Oregon Coast was magical. The day began with their emotional first look and concluded with a heartwarming ceremony at Secret Beach. With the luxury of a whole four hours, they were able to soak in every moment of their special day. The couple's easygoing demeanor and deep connection created an atmosphere of unforgettable moments and intimate photography.
