Custom House Plaza, Monterey, California Wedding Gee and Andy

Written By Flora Gibson

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!

Carmel Engagement Session

H + J chose Carmel by the Sea for their engagement session. They have known each other since high school, and their relationship is so full of laughter that it was easy to capture them naturally. I appreciate both of you for trusting me to preserve this time of your life in Carmel. I love Carmel for engagement sessions as a variety of landscapes and the ability to get away from crowds is second to none.

California Redwood Elopement

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!
