Some love stories are full of surprise and magic, unfolding in the most breathtaking places. Alyssa and Tom’s Malibu Rocky Oaks Estate engagement session was one of those unforgettable days — a celebration of love, spontaneity, and the beauty of California’s golden hills.
Malibu Rocky Oaks Estates Engagement
Alyssa and Tom planned their couples session during a short getaway to California while Tom was on a break from medical school. Alyssa had fallen in love with my work from Sunstone Winery, but when the venue was booked, we chose the stunning Malibu Rocky Oaks Estate instead. It turned out to be the perfect choice, with sweeping views of the Malibu Hills and endless golden light that wrapped around the couple in the warmest glow.
The Proposal in Malibu
As we explored the property, we made our way to the iconic platform overlooking the mountains. That’s when Tom reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring — surprising Alyssa with the sweetest proposal. What began as a couples session instantly became a Malibu Rocky Oaks engagement session, filled with laughter, emotion, and tears of joy.
A Golden Evening
The evening light was absolutely perfect, creating a romantic and cinematic atmosphere that matched their energy perfectly. My favorite moment was capturing them on the rock ledge — looking as if they were on top of the world, surrounded by the soft haze of the Malibu sunset. Their outfit choices added variety and elegance, making every frame feel timeless and effortless.
A Malibu Engagement to Remember
As a Southern California wedding and engagement photographer, sessions like Alyssa and Tom’s remind me why I love what I do — documenting the raw, beautiful moments that happen when two people simply show up and let love lead the way. This Malibu Rocky Oaks Estate engagement was a celebration of connection, surprise, and the breathtaking backdrop of California’s coast.
✨ This Malibu engagement session was the perfect reminder that sometimes the best moments are the ones you never plan — they just happen naturally, surrounded by beauty and love.
