Big Sur, California Coast Beach Proposal
Avi first contacted me when he graduated from dental school in NY. He had the ultimate surprise up his sleeve. He planned to propose to Neha his high school sweetheart during an upcoming road trip up the Big Sur, Hwy 1 coast. Neha is the planner in the relationship and is rarely surprised, we worked hard to maintain the illusion of a romantic dinner and walk. I stood by a bush on a cliff pretending to take photos of the nearby rabbits when they approached the designated Big Sur to overlook! I got to capture her saying yes! It was such a pleasure to meet this sweet couple and capture memories they will share with their children & grandchildren one day.





















When Hanna and Nick invited me to capture their elopement—a dreamy, cave‑side ceremony with their favorite people, a shot‑ski that crackled with laughter, and private vows read high above the Pacific Ocean—it felt like the most perfect love story. It was equal parts intimate, wild, heartfelt, and oh-so-Carmel. And it’s the kind of story I live for as a Carmel elopement photographer.
