Tatum & Robbie were married at The Barns at Cooper Molera Adobe in Monterey California. The Barn getting ready room is amazing with its dark walls and old-world doors it was a great backdrop. The ceremony site was outside with rustic everywhere, with all the trees and natural lighting it was perfect for their wedding photos! Such an awesome day!

Erin and Brandon were married today at Carmel Beach with a their family and a few of their closest friends, they toasted their wedding day with sparkling apple cider!! then were off for a few photos on the coast of Big Sur where the low fog was hanging over the hilltops (my favorite) Then it was off to an intimate dinner with their guests. Congratulations!

Natalia and Houston were married this week in Pebble Beach, California, the ceremony took place at the MPCC which is a beautiful venue along the coast of California. It was an honor to be your photographer, Thank you

Sean and Nicole were married on a bright, warm day in Monterey. From their ceremony at Monastery beach to their reception at The Old Whaling Station in Monterey California every detail was thought out. From the beach balls the guests threw as they were announced husband and wife to the home-brewed beer they gave out as favors their wedding had so much heart. They even distilled their own peppered vodka for their signature cocktail from one of their favorite bars!

Cordero and Malina are locals of Monterey California and are high school sweethearts. They have been married for a year and wanted to capture their love in a more intimate way post-wedding. Initially, I had really wanted to have them on a rock surrounded by the ocean; as tides changed the rock was quickly covered and I was so grateful that Cordero and Malina were up for just jumping in!!

I often offer suggestions to my photography clients while they are here visiting either for family sessions, elopements, or engagement shoots. I wanted to make those suggestions available to anyone on my site! Being a self-proclaimed foodie who loves good food but hates up-tight atmospheres this list will not include black tie locations although there is plenty of them in Carmel, Monterey, Big Sur, and Pebble Beach. (L'Auberge in Carmel was recently given one Michelin star and is phenomenal without kids) For those families visiting I have two kids and spend the majority of my time at the beach or river here, I’ll include my favorite fast places!
