Written By Flora Gibson

I’m so honored to have been selected for the second year in a row as one of Junebug Wedding’s Best of the Best Wedding Photos 2022. It is always such an honor to be recognized and included among such talented peers. Thank you so much to the Junebug Team for putting on another incredible year of recognition.

A little bit about the image chosen:

This location was not in Emily and Micheal's original plan. We had planned on visiting another popular beach on the Oregon Coast but I had visited this beach spot the day before and fell into a deep romance with the tall beach grass. I asked Emily and Micheal if they were open to changing up their timeline and last portrait location before going back to the Airbnb to celebrate. They gave me their full trust and went with my suggestion and I made some of my favorite work of the year here. The weather leading up to their wedding day was stormy, full of hail, and intense rain so I had my car packed with umbrellas and camera covers. But as luck would have it, we got the best of both worlds, stormy clouds AND light at sunset. This image was taken with my Mavic Pro 2, Emily and Micheal were not given much direction, they were just COLD!! I loved how they were embracing. each other. I’m not always inspired to fly my drone but it can really add another perspective of a location that you just can’t capture from ground level.

Claudia and Avery Eloped this week in Carmel, California, with both their best friends, all the love in the world for each other, and nothing but laughter. We adventured to the cliffs where their friends led them through heartfelt vows; they celebrated with a champagne spray and shots. We explored Garrapata Beach for couples portraits and their first dance on the beach. They had the most beautiful, heartfelt day, and I felt so lucky to be a part of it.

Natasha Hall and Leo Howard were married in Big Sur this week. They had a private vow exchange by the river under the redwood trees in the forest of Big Sur, followed by an adventure on the coast, which we drove up the Ridgeline I saw the moon peek out above the Bixby with the golden field in the foreground. Then we greeted all their family and friends at the Airbnb. It was such an honor to document their love.

L & P eloped this week at Deetjens Big Sur for their California elopement; they are high school sweethearts who have been together for years and wanted to explore Big Sur for the first time together on their road trip from Washington. I suggested Deetjens for its proximity to beautiful redwoods with overall charm. We started their wedding day with a quick cuddle in the cabin before having a first look in the redwoods; then, it was off to the cliffs and beach for a champagne toast at sunset.
