Big Sur, California Adventure Engagement Session

Engagment
Written By Flora Gibson

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.

C + N eloped last week at the beautiful Cannon Beach in Oregon. The fog slowly rolled in on their wedding afternoon as they got ready amongst their closest family members. They stayed at an Airbnb right on Cannon Beach, which was perfect for their first look. They had their ceremony with family and friends on Indian Beach with the beautiful black pebbles and driftwood, and shared cake on the tall beach grass. I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful wedding day!

In my opinion, one of the most beautiful places along the Oregon Coastline to elope would have to be Cannon Beach. The romantic coastline with its sandy beaches and large rock formations makes for a beautiful backdrop for your elopement. This guide will help you envision your dream elopement.

I’ve been shooting non stop weddings and elopements lately and even my adventure shoots have been arriving in long dresses which has made it hard to capture movement. I really wanted to have a full session shooting with a slow shutter, ZERO expectations of anything being perfectly in focus. I wanted rolling in the grass, running as fast as you can and gripping each other tightly. I was so excited when this couple responded willing to do it! With a brain that immediately wants to create when inspiration hits, I was so grateful for them coming out to spend the afternoon with me!
