Truly hidden.
Truly natural.

The whole magic of a surprise proposal is that it stays a surprise. We've mastered the art of being invisible until the big moment — so the only thing she notices is you, down on one knee.

    We blend in as tourists. At popular scenic spots, we look like anyone else snapping photos of the view.
  • ii
    Camo when it counts. For more exposed locations, we'll even go full ghillie suit to stay completely out of sight.
  • iii
    Step-by-step coordination. Maps, GPS pins, and exact timing signals so you know precisely where to walk and when.
  • iv
    Then a mini session. Right after the yes, we capture 30–45 minutes of you two glowing — newly engaged.

The most breathtaking spots on the coast.

Each location has its own magic. Tell us the vibe you're after and we'll dial in the exact spot — down to the GPS pin.

"I wanted true 'hidden photographer' shots plus a short shoot afterward, and he absolutely delivered. Drew literally dressed in camouflage to stay out of sight. We had our photos the very next day."

"My experience with Drew was great. He set up a great plan in the perfect location. The pictures came out great and taking them was a smooth experience."

And then, we celebrate.

Once she says yes, we don't just clock out. We grab a photo, pop a quick champagne, make sure your hands stop shaking. By the end, we feel less like vendors and more like friends.

Questions couples ask us most.

It's the whole art of what we do. At popular scenic spots, we simply blend in as tourists — looking like anyone else taking photos of the view, which is super common out here. For more exposed or quiet locations, we'll even go full camouflage / ghillie suit to stay completely out of sight.

Either way, we coordinate exact timing and positioning with you beforehand, so she has absolutely no idea until you're down on one knee.

Photo is $600. Video is $600. Both together is $1,000 — which is what most couples choose, so they get the full reaction in stills and something cinematic to relive forever.

Every package includes full planning support, location coordination, and a fully edited gallery. No hidden fees.

We typically spend 30–45 minutes together — sometimes up to an hour. That covers the hidden proposal moment itself, plus a relaxed mini session right after so you can celebrate being newly engaged with some beautiful portraits.

Fast. If your shoot is early in the day, you'll often have them that same night. Otherwise, you'll have them by the next morning at the latest — fully edited and ready to download and share with family and friends.

Absolutely — this is one of our specialties. Before your trip, we send a full plan by email: location pin, GPS coordinates, sample galleries, and a step-by-step timeline so everything flows smoothly even if you've never been here.

Timing matters a lot on this coast (golden hour, fog, tides), so we help you lock in exactly the right window. You just show up and pop the question.

Our favorite proposal spots include Big Sur's cliffs, Carmel Beach, Soberanes Point, and Lovers Point — plus a few hidden Big Sur gems that need a GPS pin to find. We'll match the location to the vibe you want, whether that's dramatic and adventurous or clean and classic.
