South Coast Botanic Garden in Palos Verdes, California is one of the most beautiful places to propose in Southern California…and this picnic proposal is exactly why.

The setup was a fairytale. A pyramid tent, a wooden table with a blue place setting, and matching towels and pillows. It’s a romantic picnic proposal idea that feels straight out of a woodland dream

As the couple walked in, the light filtered through the trees and he got down on one knee. One of those Southern California proposal moments that natural light was made for

She said yes. The two embraced around the picnic setup, laughing and soaking it all in- the kind of candid engagement photos that Palos Verdes proposal photographers live for.

Then came the charcuterie boards and champagne. A newly engaged couple digging into a gorgeous spread in the middle of a botanical garden.

She grabbed a parasol and they shared a kiss underneath it, surrounded by the greens of South Coast Botanic Garden. It was a proposal out of a fairytale.

The session closed with the newly engaged in the distance, lost in their own world, the lush greenery of South Coast Botanic Garden wrapping around them.
