Proposal Timeline: From Blufftop Park to the Beach
1. Start at the Park Overlook (15–20 minutes before golden hour)
Treasure Island Park is beautifully maintained, with palm trees, benches, and pathways overlooking the Pacific. This is a great spot to settle nerves, enjoy the view, and quietly prepare for the moment ahead.
2. Walk Down the Pathway (5 minutes)
The paved walkway leads you along the bluff with stunning coastal views. This stretch is ideal for casual photos and gives us as photographers a chance to discreetly capture the lead-up.
3. The Proposal (Golden Hour)
Blufftop Option: Propose at the overlook for sweeping views of the coastline and crashing waves.
Beach Option: Continue down the stairway and propose directly on the sand with the cliffs and tide pools framing the scene.
4. Post-Proposal Portraits (20–30 minutes)
After the “yes,” we’ll guide you through a variety of shots: candid laughs on the stairway, intimate embraces on the sand, and cinematic portraits by the tide pools. The combination of blufftop greenery and shoreline drama makes this one of the most versatile proposal spots in Orange County.
