There are some moments that feel like they’re straight out of a movie, and Joe and Kimberly’s Sunstone Proposal was exactly that. The rolling vineyards, the golden light, and the joy of their families gathered nearby all came together to create a moment they’ll never forget. As a Proposal Photographer, these are the stories I love documenting — ones full of emotion, surprise, and connection.

Setting the Scene at Sunstone Winery

Kimberly thought she was headed to Sunstone for a simple girls’ day with Joe’s mom and sister. They told her there was a gift certificate to use, so she made the trip down from the San Fernando Valley without suspecting a thing. Meanwhile, Joe had carefully planned every detail of this Sunstone Proposal, inviting their closest friends and family to share in the surprise.

The Proposal at Sunstone Winery

As music played in the background, Kimberly laughed and said, “This is the music I would want at my proposal.” Just moments later, she turned around to find Joe waiting for her with a ring. The look on her face — pure joy and disbelief — was unforgettable. Her “yes!” echoed with cheers from loved ones as family and friends rushed in to celebrate.

A Family-Centered Proposal Celebration

What made this Sunstone Proposal so special was the presence of their families. Joe’s thoughtful planning ensured everyone Kimberly loved most was there to witness the moment. Hugs, laughter, and tears filled the winery courtyard, turning an already beautiful proposal into a family celebration.

Planning a Proposal Soon?

As a Santa Barbara Photographer, moments like these are what inspire me most — proposals that are not just about the setting but about the people who matter most. Sunstone Winery was the perfect backdrop, but it was Joe and Kimberly’s love and the joy of their families that made this day unforgettable.
