Berlin and Ben had the perfect fog lined moody skies for their October couples session. They were married at City Hall the day before and wanted to have a few wedding portraits to remember their special day! Congratulations!

Liz and Carlton choose to have a post-wedding day photo adventure session the day after they were married so Liz would not have to worry about getting her dress dirty and they didn’t have to leave their guests for photos. Liz and Carlton were so laid back and easy going which made for an awesome photoshoot.

Christina and Malcolm were engaged this week in Big Sur, they are getting married later this year in Banff, Canada. Malcolm wanted forest, and Christina wanted cliffs so we did a little of both. Their dog Ollie was with us and he loved both stops and everything in between!

When Kristen and Chris asked me to photograph them for their 9-year anniversary I couldn't wait! Kristen and I worked together to make sure her vision came to be, from outfits, makeup, and location they nailed it. Formal outfits in wild rustic locations will always have my heart. As we hiked across Big Sur, over rocks and lots of wild waves people loved to shout congratulations. I usually suggest couples wear shoes that are comfortable and minimal, and outfits that complement the color scheme of the location. These two are permanent friends and such a lovely couple to photograph.
