Custom House Plaza, Monterey, California Wedding Gee and Andy

I approach wedding photography like I'm shooting for a documentary, a love story. I like to believe couples and families will look back on these photos with their children and grandchildren. What an honor that I was chosen to document every detail so that Gee & Andy won't have any problem remembering their perfect day when they choose to re-tell it. Their memory gardens wedding in Monterey was magical, the magnolia trees were blooming, the sun peeked through the trees just as Andy promised Gee forever and all their loved ones gasped as Gee walked down the aisle. Photography can be a love-hate relationship, constantly comparing oneself to others, or feeling uninspired. I love when I get to step back from being the director and just watch for the beauty in the details. And there were so many beautiful details!

K + J eloped this week in the beautiful redwoods of California. They stayed at the beautiful Glen Oaks Big Sur and brought their amazing friend Micheal to perform a heartfelt ceremony in the redwoods. My favorite part of their day was how they got ready together in such a sweet way and set aside 10 min for creative photos in the light of their cabin. I loved the small cake that their friend made them with the cutest cake topper! ( a Polaroid of them!)

Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. It is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, with its charm and unique vibes. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and their ceremony under the redwoods, followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. What a beautiful day!

Claudia and Avery Eloped this week in Carmel, California, with both their best friends, all the love in the world for each other, and nothing but laughter. We adventured to the cliffs where their friends led them through heartfelt vows; they celebrated with a champagne spray and shots. We explored Garrapata Beach for couples portraits and their first dance on the beach. They had the most beautiful, heartfelt day, and I felt so lucky to be a part of it.
