Jacob’s Surprise Wine Tasting Proposal at Niner Wine Estates

Proposal at Niner Wine Estates //

 

It’s not uncommon for me to get a call from a young lad who just so happens to be head over-heels in love with a girl; so much so, that he’d like to spend the rest of his life sharing that love. So the obvious next step: propose! It’s sweet. It’s a vulnerable moment that is intimate, filled with compassion and (if everything goes right) is tremendously exciting!

On this particular episode, Jacob called me with a plan: to propose to his girlfriend, Jenna, at Niner Wine Estates in Paso Robles (good choice, right?) around sunset. So Jacob’s off to a good start, he’s chosen an incredible venue a decent photographer and he’s timed it just right. One last thing: let’s see about the girl 😉

Well, as it turns out, Jenna is as incredible as her thoughtful fiancé (spoiler alert, she said YES!…but of course she did, I wouldn’t be posting this otherwise). Jenna is beautiful, clearly, and quite sarcastic ~ cracking me up with jokes only moments after she’s become engaged. She was also sweet enough to go with the plan of a photo shoot in her borrowed dress and light jacket (as it was a bit brisk with a chance of showers). And that’s it folks. 30 minutes later, they’re off to celebrate and I’m in the car sorting thru and sending them sneak peeks of the incredible, once-in-a-lifetime moment that just took place. They are engaged!

I’m so stoked to be a part of it 🙂

Meet the crew

Blake Andrews founded SLOtography in 2008 and now works alongside photographer James Lester, Stephen Heraldo, and videographer Robin Ayers. Together, they bring more than 10 years of experience (and serious good vibes) to weddings and events throughout San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast.

"It is hard to believe how you were able to so creatively capture so many aspects of Jonny and the Celebration of Life in those few minutes and without knowing us." – Kimberly

Honoring a loved one’s memory is a deeply personal journey. For Jonny’s family, that meant coming together, sharing stories, and creating new traditions in his honor.

Creating this tribute was an honor, and we’re now offering memorial slideshows and tribute videos to help families preserve these meaningful moments.

441

That’s how many weddings I just counted—441 weddings I’ve had the pleasure of capturing. All time.

Starting in 2008, that’s an average of 26 weddings per year! Wow. Yes, that includes elopements. However, I’ve also calculated that, on average, I spend about six hours capturing each wedding.

For all of you who love numbers, this one’s for you. And here’s a big one:

500.

For a long time, I had the number 500 in mind—like, “After 500, I’m out!”

At the rate I’ve been going for the last five years, I’ll hit 500 by the end of 2026.

Spoiler: I’m not retiring in 2027. That’d be no fun. So maybe 2037? I’ll lay down my camera, and I’ll…
