Deetjens Big Sur Elopement Photography
Deetjens will always be my absolute favorite place to photograph eloping couples. The history, roaming cats, old leaded windows, unique styling, and natural light make it such a fun place to start a wedding day. I loved that J +K also appreciated Deetjens and had stayed there before! They even allowed a little time in their day for some romantic cuddles before getting ready. I loved how J wore K’s big oversized button-down as they copied their vows in their books. They booked several rooms together for their family to get ready with them so we had several options and lots of light. We stopped at the redwoods on the way to their ceremony on the coast, where their friends met up with us for the most windy and beautiful ceremony where her best friend and now husband dueled post-ceremony. J and k got the cutest customized cake toppers of their cats for their cake to include them in the day. Everyone celebrated with cake and champagne. We ended the night at the beach overlooks as the sunset it was absolutely beautiful !!
All my favorite vendors were there:
MUAH : MALINA TERRA HAIR AND MAKEUP
FLORALS: WILI WILD FLOWER

Meredith and Knox came to Big Sur for the second time this March, and we had the most amazing session in the rain! Meredith and Knox were married a year ago but didn’t get professional photos of the occasion. Meredith wanted to surprise Knox during their Big Sur trip with photos of their time together with their two adorable puppies. Knox is an accomplished singer/ songwriter and guitar player, and I’m so honored they brought their guitar along to capture that part of their story. The rain really started pouring down while we were on the coast they were such good sports laying in the ice plant among it. I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple to spend the afternoon with. Thank you both.
