Monterey Family Session // The Payne Family
I’ve photographed the Payne family for the past four years and it’s so nice to see how they grow as a family year to year! They’re a local Pebble Beach family who spends a lot of time at Still Water Cove and wanted to capture their holiday session in a space they know and love. This cove can be tricky with tides but we got so lucky with a nice low tide and sunny weather! I love how Mandy styled her family, her dress is Anthropologie and the girl’s outfits are from Velveteen. Mandy always does a great job printing her pictures and I can’t wait to see what she does with these!

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.
