California Engagement Photographer

Adventure
Written By Flora Gibson

Andy and Vicki’s Engagement session in Big Sur California in the rain was one of my favorite sessions this year. I absolutely love when couples just embrace the weather and have fun no matter what, because I’m all about the mood. From the rain to the sun shining through the clouds at sunset it was seriously breathtaking. A stormy sea is by far my favorite; the low mist on the mountains the cozy light, there’s just nothing better. Andy and Vicki are from the Bay Area and familiar with our crazy unpredictable weather and were such troopers. With a dress change and a dress Vicki thrifted for 20 dollars, Vicki totally embraced the mud and rainy weather.

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.

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!
