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.

Carmel Engagement Session
Carmel Engagement Session

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.

California Redwood Elopement

K + J eloped this week in the beautiful redwoods of California. They stayed at the beautiful Glen Oaks Big Sur and brought their amazing friend Micheal to perform a heartfelt ceremony in the redwoods. My favorite part of their day was how they got ready together in such a sweet way and set aside 10 min for creative photos in the light of their cabin. I loved the small cake that their friend made them with the cutest cake topper! ( a Polaroid of them!)

Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. It is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, with its charm and unique vibes. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and their ceremony under the redwoods, followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. What a beautiful day!
