🚨 📣 We only use REAL rose petals…and no balloons or ribbon in outdoor set ups!
Wildlife comes first! 🦭🏖️🌊☀️

To whoever just proposed at Black Beach… I hope she said no 🤷♀️
Nothing says “forever” quite like covering Black Beach in hundreds of fake rose petals and then leaving them there for everyone else to clean up.
This morning, my clients and I showed up for our sunrise session and found this mess scattered across the beach. Not a few petals that accidentally blew away. Hundreds of them. Clearly left behind after a proposal or elopement.
And since apparently cleaning up after themselves was too much work, I’m currently picking them all up.
Black Beach is one of the North Shore’s most unique and visited destinations. Thousands of people come here every year to enjoy it. The locals who live here shouldn’t have to spend their time cleaning up after people who show up, use the place as a backdrop, and then leave their garbage behind when they’re done.
The North Shore isn’t your personal venue. If you bring it in, take it out. It’s really not a difficult concept.
If this was you, do better.
And if anyone recognizes a recent proposal or elopement at Black Beach involving fake rose petals, I’d love to know who thought leaving hundreds of plastic petals behind was acceptable.
Romantic gestures are great. Treating a public beach like your personal dumpster isn’t.
Be a better human.
