Abigail + Dalton Natural Bridges State Beach | Engagement

Abigail and Dalton escaped to Santa Cruz for their engagement session at the Natural Bridges State Beach.  The rain had postponed their original session date, but this led to a day full of beautiful sunshine and a gorgeous sunset!  The temperature was on the chilly side, but the sunshine made up for the cool breeze.  Abigail and Dalton brought along some Coca Cola bottles to do cheers to this new chapter in their lives.  You can view more engagement sessions here:  Rubie + Ryan, Jessekah + Andy, and Kaylin + Brandon.

How They Met

Abigail and Dalton first met during a youth group scavenger hunt, and they were paired up into the same group.  At a later date, Dalton asked a group leader if he would not mind sharing Abigail‘s number with him.  They have been dating ever since.

The Proposal

Abigail and Dalton frequent Disneyland often.  Abigail was starting to pack up both of their belongings into one suitcase; and Dalton shared with Abigail that he did not want to share a suitcase with her, because she was messy.  Abigail happily unpacked his stuff and put it to the side.  When they arrived to Disneyland, Dalton suggested that they wear their character shirts for their first day.  Abigail thought this was slightly odd, because Dalton didn’t really care about the character shirts. After they had only been on one ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dalton suggested that they get in line to have their Photo Pass picture taken in front of the castle immediately after.  Abigail wasn’t too thrilled with this idea, because the last ride had messed up her hair.  Standing in line for their picture, Dalton asked Abigail if she had a tissue.  She looked at him oddly and said no. He then asked her if she would mind going to get him one.  She looked at him oddly again and replied with a no. Fortunately, previously at the hotel, Dalton had written a note to the photographer just in case he could not get Abigail out of line.  He handed the piece of paper to the people behind them in line and requested that they hand it to the photographer when it was Abigail and Dalton’s turn. The note informed the photographer of Dalton’s proposal plans and asked for the photographer to instruct Abigail to turn her back to the camera and look toward the castle.  The photographer captured the proposal perfectly.  Abigail is seen with her back to the camera, then turning towards Dalton to find him on one knee, and a final picture after she said yes!

Abigail and Dalton, we had a wonderful time with you!  You two did an amazing job, and you looked stunning!  I can see how much love you two share by the way you two lingered in each other’s arms.  And by how long your kisses were!  Thank you so much for introducing us to Natural Bridges State Park.  We will be visiting this location again!  Abigail, you were amazing to know the low tide!  You have gorgeous pictures with the natural bridge all because of you!  You are going to rock your wedding day in October!  I am so excited to capture this special day for you.  I am so excited for you to see some of my many favorites from your engagement session.

    These pictures are gorgeous! I was nervous I would feel awkward in front of the camera but you made the whole process fun and enjoyable. Although there were many people at the beach, I felt as though we were the only people there! I so enjoyed this time and it is an experience I will remember for the rest of my life! Cannot wait to marry my best friend!
