Malibu Proposal Photographer | Robert Proposes to Katie at Leo Carillo Beach Proposal Photos10/9/2024
On a magical misty afternoon in October, Robert proposed to Katie on an overlook at Leo Carillo State Beach, above the crashing waves of the Pacific. It's always so much fun to shoot a proposal, because I get to be part of the excited planning moments. Robert and I scouted out the spot and talked through time of day and where I would hide; who would arrive and when. He poured so much thought into the details of his proposal and the words he shared with Katie, and when the moment came... it was even better than he could have planned!
I'm so excited for Robert and Katie to spend the rest of their lives together. Finding your person in this big world is a priceless gift. Here's what Robert had to say about his experience working with me afterward! ★★★★★ "Cecily is the absolute best. She photographed my proposal to my then-girlfriend, now fiancee! I wanted to propose at one location, but upon scouting it ahead of time, we discovered that it was completely overrun with other couples doing proposal and engagement shoots. There was no way I could pull off the surprise there! Cecily quickly swooped in with suggestions for several alternative, more discreet locations. She even went the extra mile and coordinated some perfect weather for the day of our shoot! 😄 "It honestly couldn't have gone better. On top of all the legwork Cecily put in before a single photo was taken, she also delivered an entire gallery of absolutely astounding photos, all edited and at full resolution. She sent us a few finished edits for family and social media the very same night of the proposal and had the rest of them sent to us before we knew it. She has an eye for romantic moments in close-ups, and I also appreciated the wide shots incorporating a broader view of the beautiful location we had worked so hard to narrow down! If you get the chance, hire Cecily. It's a no-brainer." MORE REVIEWS HERE >> (Click the Read More link below to view photos from Robert's proposal.)  
Love that the Rivera family decided to do family pictures while they're assigned to Southern California on a travel nursing gig! Their family is so fun and adventurous, one of their boys took an accidental dip in the ocean (those waves are unpredictable!) and still managed to smile afterward.
Emily and Chris' Leo Carrillo Malibu Beach wedding photos were a mix of part post-COVID wedding photoshoot, part beach elopement, part family portrait session and all dreamy sunset sky goodness. This couple and their family was so much fun to celebrate and snap photos with. Emily picked a beautiful wedding dress with a high neckline (I mean, she's a triathlete, so that was DEF the right choice) and Chris wore his wedding suit and we frolicked barefoot at low tide snapping these pics on the sand and on the cliffs above.
 These out-of-towners love to travel, so they planned a magical getaway to sunny Southern California to celebrate their engagement, and they remembered to book these special engagement photos while they were in town! Cheers to Alexa and Matt! Congrats on your engagement and your upcoming wedding. Come see me in Malibu on the honeymoon!
These two are so beautiful and fun together! Grace and Kaity are getting married next fall in Santa Barbara but for now they're enjoying life as an engaged couple with their sweet pup. I had so much fun documenting their love on this sweeping coastline in Malibu. Can't wait for your wedding! (Click "Read More" for the rest of the gallery.)
These Malibu family photos were so dreamy and filled with breezy laughter. I loved shooting at Leo Carrillo, where the sweeping clifftop views and hidden details of the many pocket beaches allow for unlimited exploring for curious kiddos.
For Abdul's Malibu beach proposal, he knew that Alex loves sunflowers, so he created a pathway of sunflowers in the sand and waited on the beach with a ring box in his pocket. She showed up, en route to "brunch with sister," and the stage was set. She saw Abdul, he grabbed her hand and led her down the sunflower path, got down on one knee... and she said yes. After that we snapped a bunch of beautiful engagement photos at the beach! Can't wait for these two lovebirds to get married on the beach in a few months.
 Carrie and Thad are getting married this summer in Colorado, but they wanted engagement photos here at the beach to commemorate their Los Angeles life together. Together with their (incredibly camera-friendly) dog, we explored the cliffs, tide pools, and coves of Leo Carrillo State Beach for their engagement photos.
This ocean-loving couple is getting married in October (at the beach) and they wanted to commemorate their love story with sunrise photos at one of their favorite haunts: Leo Carrillo. Kelsey grew up swimming at this beach where the strong waves helped her build her confidence as a swimmer and eventually become a lifeguard. Now she is a competitive obstacle course racer. So basically I'm surprised she and James didn't wind up ditching me on the sand to dive under the waves together. But I'm glad they didn't because these shots are just the greatest.
Can't wait for Kelsey-and-James-fest 2.0 this October! Location: Leo Carrillo State Beach at sunrise |
