Big Sur, California Family Photos with Payne Family
I love when clients become friends, I had the opportunity to photograph this sweet couple in Big Sur when they were expecting, glowing, excited, and anxious. I was invited back within the first 48 hours of sweet Ellory's birth at the Community Hospital of Monterey, while mom and dad were tired, emotional, and madly in love with their new babe. I photographed her at home before she was 8 days old and now at 2 months, I feel like I've experienced all the big milestones along with them. I feel so honored they have chosen me to capture these important moments. I can’t wait to see their holiday cards!

If you’ve been dreaming of an elopement that feels both nostalgic and wildly free, a vintage car beach elopement in California might be exactly what you’re looking for. There’s something undeniably cinematic about the combination of salt air, windswept cliffs, and a beautifully restored classic car—it transforms your wedding day into a story that feels like it’s been lived a hundred times before, yet entirely your own.
As a California elopement photographer, I’m seeing more couples lean into this blend of retro romance and coastal adventure, and it’s easy to understand why.
