A Paradise Cove Proposal in Malibu
Jose proposed to Crystal on the beach at Paradise Cove in Malibu on an overcast September evening. The soft grey sky turned out to be perfect: even light, no squinting and nothing pulling attention away from the two of them.

The Proposal
The sandstone cliffs at Paradise Cove make a dramatic backdrop, and the beach is quiet once the day crowd thins out. Once she said yes, we took our time with portraits as they walked along the water under the bluffs, mostly just letting them hang out and laugh.

Out on the Tide Pools
Then we headed out onto the rocks at low tide, with the pier and the hillside homes of Malibu in the background.
Planning a Paradise Cove Proposal
Paradise Cove has cliffs, a pier and tide pools all within a few minutes' walk, so it's an easy place to keep a proposal low-key. Get in touch and I'll help you plan the timing around the tides and the light.
