California Couples Photography
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.

If you’ve been dreaming of an elopement that feels both nostalgic and wildly free, a vintage car beach elopement in California might be exactly what you’re looking for. There’s something undeniably cinematic about the combination of salt air, windswept cliffs, and a beautifully restored classic car—it transforms your wedding day into a story that feels like it’s been lived a hundred times before, yet entirely your own.
As a California elopement photographer, I’m seeing more couples lean into this blend of retro romance and coastal adventure, and it’s easy to understand why.
