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.

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.

Natasha Hall and Leo Howard were married in Big Sur this week. They had a private vow exchange by the river under the redwood trees in the forest of Big Sur, followed by an adventure on the coast, which we drove up the Ridgeline I saw the moon peek out above the Bixby with the golden field in the foreground. Then we greeted all their family and friends at the Airbnb. It was such an honor to document their love.

L & P eloped this week at Deetjens Big Sur for their California elopement; they are high school sweethearts who have been together for years and wanted to explore Big Sur for the first time together on their road trip from Washington. I suggested Deetjens for its proximity to beautiful redwoods with overall charm. We started their wedding day with a quick cuddle in the cabin before having a first look in the redwoods; then, it was off to the cliffs and beach for a champagne toast at sunset.
