Bay Area Elopement Photographer // Gabrielle & Eliot's Maternity Session

Written By Flora Gibson

Gabrielle & Eliot came to Ventana resort in Big Sur for their baby moon and maternity photographs. Gabrielle booked my adventure session package so we could explore the redwoods and several other locations. Half of my joy of adventure sessions is getting to meet and hang out with my couples and getting to know them in a more laid-back way than a traditional session. Gabrielle and Eliot had such a sweet, nurturing, and calming way about them and their love for each other. The way Eliot would sometimes stand behind me when I was photographing Gabrielle and softly remark about how beautiful she looked melted my heart. Sometimes you meet people and you just know deep down they will be fantastic parents and Gabrielle and Eliot are going to make some of the best. I can’t wait to see pictures of their sweet girl!

Carmel Engagement Session
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!
