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.

Carmel Engagement Session
Carmel Engagement Session

H + J chose Carmel by the Sea for their engagement session. They have known each other since high school, and their relationship is so full of laughter that it was easy to capture them naturally. I appreciate both of you for trusting me to preserve this time of your life in Carmel. I love Carmel for engagement sessions as a variety of landscapes and the ability to get away from crowds is second to none.

California Redwood Elopement

K + J eloped this week in the beautiful redwoods of California. They stayed at the beautiful Glen Oaks Big Sur and brought their amazing friend Micheal to perform a heartfelt ceremony in the redwoods. My favorite part of their day was how they got ready together in such a sweet way and set aside 10 min for creative photos in the light of their cabin. I loved the small cake that their friend made them with the cutest cake topper! ( a Polaroid of them!)

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!
