Big Sur, California Adventure Engagement Session
Tonight I'm up late working on the wedding from this weekend at Memory Gardens in Monterey. It struck me as I got off the phone today with another 2018 bride that almost all my brides feel like friends. What an honor that they chose me to hang out with on such a monumental day. This weekend I couldn't stop laughing and crying right along with the bridal party. Mom's zipping up dresses and fathers walking their daughters down the aisle get me EVERY TIME. As I work on editing (and eventually posting) Andy and Gee's wedding from this weekend I wanted to catch my blog up with the last engagement session I did in Big Sur. Lyndsey and I grew up together and I was so excited when she asked me to tag along for an adventure. These blonde babes are gorgeous and make such a sweet couple.
When Hanna and Nick invited me to capture their elopement—a dreamy, cave‑side ceremony with their favorite people, a shot‑ski that crackled with laughter, and private vows read high above the Pacific Ocean—it felt like the most perfect love story. It was equal parts intimate, wild, heartfelt, and oh-so-Carmel. And it’s the kind of story I live for as a Carmel elopement photographer.
