Why Santa Cruz

What we love about Santa Cruz for proposals and engagement sessions.

Santa Cruz is where most of our proposals happen, and there's a reason. Sixty miles of accessible coastline, the redwoods minutes inland, beach after beach where the last hour of sun lands differently on each one. We know every cove, every bluff, every pull-off where you can hide a ring conversation from passing traffic. Most weekday mornings you'll have the whole beach to yourselves.

Best time of year
April to early November. Spring wildflowers and fall clarity beat fog season.
