Alexia and Nolan visited the California coast this week so Nolan could propose!! Nolan has some friends who own private land on the Big Sur coast with rocky cliffs and cows roaming around the meadow so it was a fun new location for me! We then adventured around the rest of the coastline and toasted champagne to the newly engaged couple.

Liz and Carlton choose to have a post-wedding day photo adventure session the day after they were married so Liz would not have to worry about getting her dress dirty and they didn’t have to leave their guests for photos. Liz and Carlton were so laid back and easy going which made for an awesome photoshoot.

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!

Jennifer and Aaron were engaged in Big Sur today. They are getting married in Mexico later this year but wanted their engagement photos along the Big Sur Coastline.

Christina and Malcolm were engaged this week in Big Sur, they are getting married later this year in Banff, Canada. Malcolm wanted forest, and Christina wanted cliffs so we did a little of both. Their dog Ollie was with us and he loved both stops and everything in between!

Alex and Scott are getting married later this year at Wind and Sea Estate in Big Sur, they decided on a pre-wedding day photo shoot, which I love! it allows the couple to get comfortable with me before the wedding day!

As 2019 concludes I wanted to share some of my favorite images posted on Instagram this year. It’s been a year of growth and reflection and I’ve truly had the best clients!! Big Sur Photographer

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!!

Ali and John were visiting Big Sur from San Diego as a couple after being separated by deployments for many months. They have a son at home but really needed a reset to connect with each other. They decided to save the last day of their trip for an adventure down the PNW with me! From some beautiful Big Sur caves and remote beaches with cliff overlooks I truly feel like Big Sur still has some hidden local locations.
