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.

M & K eloped in last week. They started their wedding day at The La Playa Hotel in Carmel for their get-ready photos then they traveled to the ceremony in a vintage Thunderbird to Fanshell Beach along 17-Mile drive. We then adventured to Big Sur for cliffside sunset photos and their first dance on the beach and a toast to the newly married couple.

Lauren and Courtney are Engaged!!! I felt so honored to work with Lauren on her proposal to Courtney at the beautiful Ventana Big Sur Hotel. Lauren and Courtney love playing Scrabble together and stay at Ventana Big Sur multiple times a year. Lauren had a custom Scrabble piece made on Etsy that said “Will You Marry Me?”.
