California Couples Photography

Jan 5

Yeonsoo and Aki were visiting Big Sur California from Tokyo this week and wanted to capture their time and 10-year anniversary with a couples session. Aki is an accomplished musician and Yeonsoo often performs with him at their church, so we made time to capture them doing what they love together. Aki’s saxophone is a 1920s-era silver-plated saxophone and it was one of the coolest instruments I’ve ever photographed. They opted to do a three-hour couples session on the coast so we could do all the locations they were excited about. I had so much fun showing them areas of Big Sur they hadn’t been to before.

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 Photographer

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!

Garrapata Beach Elopement

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.
