S and S are getting married later this year in Oregon, and I’m so excited that they decided to include a Big Sur, California, engagement session before their wedding. I had such a good time getting to know them both and showing them areas of the coast they hadn’t explored before. We had some of the best moody light and big waves along the Big Sur Coast.

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?”.

Amy and Gen are such a caring couple, the way they look at each other and the love you feel when being with them is so heartwarming. They were engaged in Big Sur this week! I was so honored to be a part of their special day!
