Lee’s Overlook: Love Lingers Over the Water
Cradled above the glittering waters of Avalon Bay at Lee’s Overlook, Santa Catalina Island sets the stage for surprise.
Where the island’s timeless charm meets a moment worth remembering forever. This sweeping overlook frames the bay from the western hill top, Chimes Tower, and the Art Deco Casino building as a backdrop. It’s the perfect spot for a proposal, where our client, Philip, proposed to his girlfriend isa.
this photo session features the optional romantic blanket and scattered rose petals for an extra touch of love.

David with Catalina Captures went above and beyond to make my surprise proposal photoshoot session dreams come true! I reached out to Catalina Captures to plan a surprise proposal on Catalina Island, and David consistently responded promptly to all my messages and inquiries about location, logistics, and planning. I was considering two different possible locations overlooking the Avalon harbor, and he helped me decide by sending previous examples of images he’s taken at each location and then by even taking a walkthrough video of the location I wanted to go with to help scout out the perfect spot to propose.
David always brought a positive energy to our communications, and he also provided a useful planning board outlining the map of the area with the camera angle logistics and recommendations for where we should stand. He was glad to set up a wonderful blanket and rose pedal display for a minor additional cost in addition to the included champagne and bouquet setup. During the moment of the proposal, he captured my fiancé’s surprise and both of our euphoric emotions perfectly with his superb photography work and even with a thoughtful video of the full proposal from multiple angles.
Afterwards, he was very prompt with editing and sending us the photos and the video. The proposal photos and video turned out amazing, and we are so happy that David helped capture our special moment to cherish forever! Thank you!!
