California Engagement Photographer

Adventure

Mar 4

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.

Garrapata Beach Elopement

Oct 31, 2024

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.

Natasha Hall and Leo Howard are married!

Sep 12, 2024

Natasha Hall and Leo Howard were married in Big Sur this week. They had a private vow exchange by the river under the redwood trees in the forest of Big Sur, followed by an adventure on the coast, which we drove up the Ridgeline I saw the moon peek out above the Bixby with the golden field in the foreground. Then we greeted all their family and friends at the Airbnb. It was such an honor to document their love.

Deetjens Big Sur Elopement Photography

Sep 12, 2024

L & P eloped this week at Deetjens Big Sur for their California elopement; they are high school sweethearts who have been together for years and wanted to explore Big Sur for the first time together on their road trip from Washington. I suggested Deetjens for its proximity to beautiful redwoods with overall charm. We started their wedding day with a quick cuddle in the cabin before having a first look in the redwoods; then, it was off to the cliffs and beach for a champagne toast at sunset.
