Santa Barbara Proposal At Leadbetter Beach

Your proposal deserves to be documented. After all, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience with unique emotions and genuine reactions. It is a moment that you will want to relive for the rest of your lives. So when Luis approached me asking him to help plan his Santa Barbara proposal, I was excited to help! As a Santa Barbara wedding photographer, I love any chance I get to be part of documenting your love story through timeless images that evoke raw emotions for decades to come.

Santa Barbara Proposal

When planning a surprise proposal the first thing you want to do is contact your wedding photographer. It is critical to reserve your photographer weeks, or even months, in advance. Especially if you are planning to propose in the midst of wedding season. Which is from about April through November here in Southern California. Luis contacted me a few weeks before Thanksgiving to coordinate a time and place for his Santa Barbara Proposal. This was the perfect time because it was after the height of wedding season, and right around the holidays. We planned on a specific place that would be easy for the two of us to find, while still keeping it a surprise for his girlfriend Leila.

Santa Barbara is filled with romantic beaches and colorful sunsets. And Leadbetter Beach is no exception! It’s situated adjacent to the Santa Barbara Harbor and Shoreline Park. This area is absolutely gorgeous with large stones on the shore and views of the cliff. Luis and Leila’s proposal was filled with natural beauty and a secluded feel, which amplified the magic of the moment! Afterward, we captured engagement portraits on the beach with a stunning sunset over the horizon.
