This proposal in Malibu was picture-perfect! Ana and Shaun are the sweetest couple, and I felt honored to share this moment with them. Shaun planned everything, from booking a beautiful Airbnb for the proposal to inviting the couple’s friends to celebrate afterward. Plus, hiring me to document it all! It was an afternoon full of love and laughter, and I know Ana and Shaun will always cherish the memories.
Surprise Proposal in Malibu
When Shaun decided to propose to Ana, he knew he wanted a professional photographer to document the moment. He also knew that most locations in Los Angeles require a photography permit, but he wanted to propose as soon as possible! So, he landed on renting an Airbnb and found this incredible place in Malibu. Not only was it a picturesque setting, but there was plenty of space to invite all their friends to spend the weekend and celebrate!
Three of the couple’s friends helped Shaun create the elaborate proposal set-up, including an aisle lined with photos of the couple and a floral archway where Shaun got down on one knee. Inside the Airbnb, they decorated with fresh flowers and more pictures of the couple. They also laid out a delicious sushi dinner for everyone to enjoy afterward!
When Ana and Shaun arrived at the Airbnb, she immediately realized what was happening. The surprise on her face was priceless! Shaun led her through the house, and they reminisced on favorite moments from their relationship while looking at photos.
Then, it was time for the big moment underneath the archway! After Ana said Yes, their friends emerged from the Airbnb to surprise her. She had no idea they would be there and was so excited! It was the sweetest moment and just a glimpse into how love-filled this couple’s wedding day will be. Are you planning a proposal in Malibu or elsewhere in SoCal?
