Malibu is one of the most perfect places to get proposal pictures. It’s situated along the heart of the west coast, has hidden gems waiting to be explored, and can serve as a backdrop for you and your loved one. Malibu is conveniently located just a short drive from Los Angeles, which makes it the perfect getaway spot for those looking for proposal pictures in the mild coastal climate, on the beach or in the mountains.
If you're looking to get proposal pictures in Malibu, there's no shortage of options for venues, backdrops, and accommodations. There are private less traveled beach areas, secluded views that overlook the coast and city, and so much more.
Malibu provides the best combination of beauty and accessibility. Malibu sits just a short drive from Los Angeles, just along the 1. The beach and the foothills of scenic mountains and rolling hills are just a short drive from each other. As a coastal town it has the charm and vibes that are hard to match, making it one of the ideal locations for an proposal shoot.
Meet Your Malibu proposal Photographer
Hi! I’m Sienna, born and raised in California, and I’ve been an proposal and elopement photographer since 2010. I started off my profession shooting traditional weddings where the hectic nature of a wedding taught me to quickly adapt to any situation. My love for working with couples led me to seek out a more intimate way of photographing such a sacred event for two people. So many of the couples I had worked with were happy to get married, but felt overwhelmed on their wedding day to the point that they were ready for it to be over. So, I transitioned to elopement photography where couples could focus on each other and go at their own pace!
A little about me: I have an infant son, a wonderful + supporting husband Christopher, and two kitties. I love hiking, dancing, gaming, and vegan food!
Consider me your proposal day shoot BFF, location scouter, and relationship hype woman: here to be not only your Malibu proposal photographer but to help with locations, vendors, and the logistics of the day.
Proud to be a Latina woman and LGBTQ-owned business that celebrates inclusivity + diversity.
We are here to help you take proposal pictures and to document + help plan your day!

Best Locations for proposal Photography in Malibu
We have been fortunate enough to shoot the most scenic areas of Malibu and when we work with you, we are so stoked to share all the hidden gems! But for those just beginning your journey, here are some of the top places in Malibu to consider for your proposal shoot!
The Beach
We can't talk about eloping, or Malibu for that instance, without talking about the beach. The beaches and coastline in Malibu are famous, people from all over come to visit this famous coastline. However, when considering eloping you may want more privacy, which is why we've got some very particular places picked out for such events.
The Mountains
For the locals, like us, hiking in the surrounding mountains is a great way to enjoy the area. The beach, coast, and surrounding mountains all come together in the mountainous area. There are plenty of hiking options with beautiful viewpoints to serve as the perfect proposal shoot spot.
Hidden Gems
Malibu is a gem in itself but even within the city are plenty of trails, resorts or hotels, or even nature filled areas that could be best suited for what speaks to you. We love helping finding the right place to match the couple and will share our hidden gems with you!
