CAIRNS BAY SURPRISE ENGAGEMENT | MORNINGTON PENINSULA | BRANCH + MICHELLE

When Branch travelled all the way from Ohio, USA, to plan a surprise engagement proposal for his beloved Michelle at Cairns Bay, Mornington Peninsula, I knew it was going to be something extraordinary. The day was cloudy, but the emotions were anything but dull. Stationed discreetly on the cliff as a "tourist," I was ready to capture the magic as Branch got down on one knee against the breathtaking backdrop of the ocean’s wide vistas.

Michelle’s reaction was pure joy, and the adventure didn’t stop there. We embarked on a cliff walk adventure, filled with laughter, love, and stunning views, culminating in a beach engagement session. As the sun peeked through the clouds, it created incredible romantic silhouettes against the rocks and cliffs, adding a golden touch to their unforgettable day.

This destination engagement photography session was a beautiful reminder of how love knows no boundaries—whether it’s traveling across the globe or finding the perfect moment amidst nature’s grandeur. Cairns Bay provided the perfect canvas for Branch and Michelle’s love story, and I’m honored to have captured these priceless memories they’ll cherish for a lifetime.
