Croad Vineyard Proposal: The Best Place to Propose in Paso Robles

When Steven reached out about planning his proposal to Anna, he wanted everything to be perfect. Nervous but determined, he arrived early at Croad Vineyard, one of the best places to propose in Paso, and took part in a quiet wine tasting while waiting for her arrival. Everything was carefully planned to keep the surprise a secret.

To throw Anna off the trail, Steven had her make the winery reservation herself — even adjusting the time so she’d never suspect what was coming. Their weekend getaway to Paso Robles was meant to celebrate their anniversary, but it became so much more.

Proposal Planning and Photography at Croad Vineyard

As part of the proposal planning and photography, I worked alongside my friend Lindy to blend into the scene as guests at the winery. When Steven and Anna began walking toward the courtyard, Lindy and I pretended to take a selfie while I discreetly moved into position to capture the big moment.

Steven knelt down on one knee, and Anna’s surprise and joy were everything. What made it even more touching was Steven’s preparation—he had written his proposal speech ahead of time, practicing it during every break he could find. He wanted Anna to have his words saved forever, knowing she might be in happy shock and not remember all the details.

Capturing the Perfect Paso Robles Proposal

When Steven proposed, the crowd at Croad Winery cheered. The owner, Martin, played music across the courtyard as the couple shared their first dance by the water fountain — a spontaneous, heartfelt moment that made the proposal even more memorable.

Afterward, we explored the vineyard together, taking engagement photos among the vines and hillsides. The soft light, golden tones, and natural beauty of Paso Robles wine country made every photo timeless.

This is what I love most about proposal planning and photography—creating a calm, non-rushed experience that lets couples truly soak in the joy of the moment while capturing portraits they’ll treasure forever.
