Hello There,

This is more than photography—it’s a fully guided experience.

 What You Can Expect

I help with:

Location scouting + exclusive location guides
Timeline creation built around lighting + experience
Permit guidance for parks and protected areas
Planning support every step of the way

So you can focus on being present… not figuring it all out alone.

You Don’t Have To Be “Adventurous”

Let’s clear this up—an adventure doesn’t mean hiking miles or doing anything extreme (unless you want to).

I know plenty of easy-access locations that still give you those epic, jaw-dropping views.

Your day is built around your comfort level.

Make It Even More Unforgettable

Many couples choose to turn their engagement or couples photos into a full experience — exploring multiple locations, bringing a picnic, popping champagne, kayaking, hiking, chasing sunset, or simply slowing down somewhere beautiful together.

This gives us more time to create images that feel natural, emotional, and completely you — without rushing through the moment.

This Is Your Story—Your Way

No stiff posing.
No awkward pressure.
No session that feels like everyone else’s.

Just the two of you, in a place that feels meaningful, creating photos that reflect your connection, your energy, and this season of your life together.

Ready to Start Planning?

If you’re dreaming of engagement photos in the Redwoods, couples portraits on the Oregon Coast, a romantic session in Southern Oregon, or an adventure somewhere unforgettable…

I’m here for it.

Custom Session Timeline

A personalized timeline will be created around the best lighting, location flow, scenery, and experience.

Whether we’re planning golden-hour engagement photos, a multi-location adventure session, or a surprise proposal where timing matters, I’ll help create a plan that keeps everything feeling smooth, natural, and intentional.

Surprise Proposal Planning Support

For surprise proposals, I’ll help with location ideas, timing, lighting, where to stand, how to keep it natural, and how to make the moment feel thoughtful without giving away the surprise.

After the big “yes,” we’ll continue with romantic portraits so you have both the real proposal moment and beautiful images together afterward.

Guidance is provided to help you navigate any permit requirements for your chosen location so everything is planned properly ahead of time.

Your Adventure Awaits...

Samuel H. Boardman Surprise Proposal Photographer | Brookings Oregon

A surprise proposal on the Southern Oregon Coast deserves to feel as unforgettable as the love story behind it. From the dramatic cliffs of Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor to the hidden trails of Secret Beach, the iconic views at Natural Bridges, the rugged coastline of Brookings, Oregon, and the quiet magic of the nearby Redwoods, this area is one of the most breathtaking places to ask the biggest question of your life. As an Oregon Coast surprise proposal photographer, I help you choose the right location, plan around the best light, create a smooth timeline, and capture the moment in a way that feels natural, emotional, and completely true to you.

Whether you are planning a private cliffside proposal, a romantic beach proposal, a Redwoods adventure, or a full Oregon Coast engagement experience, I will help guide the details so you can be fully present when the moment happens. Your proposal session can include hidden photographer coverage, the actual surprise moment, emotional just-engaged portraits, and time to explore one or more iconic locations near Samuel H. Boardman, Brookings, Secret Beach, Natural Bridges, Jedediah Smith Redwoods, and the Southern Oregon Coast. This is more than a photo session — it is the beginning of your next chapter, documented with intention, adventure, and heart.

Now Lets Talk ............. Investment

What Your Investment Means To Me ...........

Your elopement is not just another photo session to me. It is one of the most meaningful days of your life, and when you choose me to document it, that trust means everything.

I know photography can be one of the biggest investments couples make when planning their elopement, and I want you to feel the value of that investment long before the day even arrives. From helping you choose locations, building a timeline around the best light, talking through permits, guiding you through the flow of the day, and creating space for real moments to unfold — my job is so much more than showing up with a camera.

The photographer you choose will play a huge part in how your day feels. I want your experience to feel calm, intentional, relaxed, and true to you — not rushed, overly posed, or stressful. I want you to be able to breathe, laugh, explore, hold hands, take in the scenery, and actually be present in the day you created together.

I am so grateful to have over 115 Google reviews from couples and clients who have shared what their experience was like working with me. So many of them talk about feeling comfortable, guided, cared for, and completely themselves in front of the camera — and that means just as much to me as the photos themselves.

Because at the end of it all, I do not just want to hand you a gallery of beautiful images. I want you to look back and remember the way the light came through the trees, the wind on the coast, the quiet in-between moments, the laughter, the nerves, the joy, and the feeling of choosing a wedding day that was fully yours.

And honestly, I do not want to just be your photographer for one day. I want to be someone you trust with the moments that matter most — the person you call when life brings you into another chapter worth remembering.

That is what your investment means to me. Not just photos, but an experience, a story, and memories you will carry with you for the rest of your life.

More Than Just a Photo—It’s Your Story

 Surprise Proposal Experience

For the couples planning one of the biggest moments of their lives — and wanting it documented in a way that feels romantic, intentional, and completely unforgettable.

Surprise proposals are more than a regular couples session. They include extra planning, location guidance, timing support, hidden photographer coverage, and portraits after the proposal so the entire experience feels smooth from start to finish.

Whether you’re dreaming of proposing beneath the ancient Redwoods, along the Brookings coastline, at Samuel H. Boardman, beside the Smith River, or somewhere wild and meaningful to your story, I’ll help you plan the moment with intention.

Perfect for couples who want an unforgettable full-day proposal experience. Start the morning with a private surprise proposal beneath the Redwoods, surrounded by quiet trails, towering trees, and soft morning light. After the “yes,” take time to celebrate, slow down, eat something, soak in the moment, and give your partner time to get ready for the second half of the day.

Later, we will come back together for a sunset adventure along the Southern Oregon Coast — kayaking the local river or bay, exploring Brookings, wandering through Samuel H. Boardman Corridor, visiting Secret Beach or Natural Bridges, and ending the evening with the option to add a planned romantic dinner or picnic on a scenic cliff overlook.

Custom add-ons such as picnic styling, romantic dinner setups, florals, kayak rentals, permits, or other proposal details can be added depending on the experience you want to create.

 

Please note: Surprise proposals require additional planning and coordination, so they are priced separately from regular couples sessions.

 Permit Note

Permits are required for photography sessions inside Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and other national parks depending on locations.  This additional fee is to be paid by the client. Permit requirements and pricing may vary based on the location, session type, and state park rules. 

I also have a list of beautiful nearby locations that do not require permits, and I’m happy to help guide you toward the best option for your session.

5 STAR GOOGLE REVIEW

We had such an amazing experience with Dezerae! My husband and I chose to do our elopement on the coast of Brookings Oregon and in the Jedidiah Smith State Park/California Redwoods. The entire day was such a dream and our pictures turned out incredible! We definitely made the right choice with her as our photographer. She guided us throughout the whole journey and was quick to respond to any questions we had in the months leading up to our special day. If I could give her more stars I would! -LACEY WALKER
