Stonewall Ranch Malibu — A Private Setting for Proposals & Celebrations


If you’re looking for a more private and intimate location in Malibu, Stonewall Ranch is a beautiful option for a proposal, engagement session, or even an intimate wedding.


What makes this location so special is the feeling of privacy. Away from the crowds of Malibu’s more popular beaches, Stonewall Ranch offers a peaceful setting with beautiful natural scenery and plenty of space to create photographs that feel intentional and personal.


It’s especially beautiful for surprise proposals — the privacy makes it easier to plan a meaningful moment without having a crowd of people around. The landscape also gives us plenty of opportunities for portraits together after the proposal, capturing both the moment itself and the excitement that follows.


Please note: a permit is required to photograph at Stonewall Ranch, so this is not a location where you can simply arrive and start shooting. Planning ahead is an important part of creating a smooth experience.


Whether you’re planning a Malibu proposal, engagement session, or intimate wedding, Stonewall Ranch is one of those places that feels a little more secluded and personal — perfect for couples who want their photographs to feel like their own story.


If you’re planning something special in Malibu, I’d love to help you find the right location and create something beautiful around it.
