Capture the Moment You’ll Tell for the Rest of Your Lives

You’ve chosen your person.


You’ve chosen the ring.


Now you get to choose how this moment unfolds.

As a San Luis Obispo proposal photographer, I help you create a proposal that feels effortless, meaningful, and true to your relationship — while documenting the moment in a way that feels natural and true to life.

This isn’t just about getting the “yes.”


It’s about the story you’ll tell forever.

She Probably Knows It’s Coming — But How You Propose Is Everything

Let’s be honest — most partners sense that a proposal is on the horizon.
But how you approach it? That’s your opportunity to make it unforgettable.

Surprise proposals are exciting and moments leading up to 'popping the questions' have people nervous. Throughout the entire process, I will support you with your vision and capture the details and moments leading up to the  big moment. 

All Proposals include planning support, a client experience guide, support connecting with other vendors, a full Engagement Session after the proposal and a same-day highlight gallery to immediately share with family and friends. So you can put the phone down and enjoy this moment fully.

Wedding photographer testimony

I knew from looking at MacKenzie’s online portfolio that she is incredibly talented at capturing authentic moments between people. However, I don’t think I understood just how good she was until we received our photos back. She even took the time to incorporate small, detail-focused shots of the surrounding area to match the type of photos my fiance pins on her Pinterest board. We cannot stop looking at the photos, and I cannot wait to have the printed versions to cherish forever.
