Big Sur California Engagement // Sammie and Kacie
Kacie and Sammie joined me on a dark and stormy day on the Big Sur coast to capture their engagement session. We hiked through lots of overgrown poison oak (not actually poisonous) and sandals when they should have had some hiking boots; they were troopers and jumped to go on every adventure. Kacie and Sammie are locals and It’s always fun to show people who live here some hidden spots.
Kacie and Sammie met during their first year of college through mutual friends and It took them about six months to actually tell one another that they liked each other! They got engaged during Christmas in front of their whole family and reached out to me to capture some moments before the crazy wedding planning begins!
Sammy brought her best dad jokes and Kacie kept Sammy warm with lots of hugs. We explored the coast with an adventure session to two different locations and lots of fog! Growing up in Big Sur I think this has been one of the foggiest summers I can remember and I have no complaints about it.
I’m a Super 8mm lover. There is nothing like those flickering frames and overscan vibes. I own a Braun Nizo that I've used for personal and wedding work. But man, $200 per roll is tough. So to say I've been waiting for something like the Fuji Instax Mini Evo Cinema is an understatement. I’ll be comparing the mini Instax Mimi cinema, the camp snap, and my traditional Braun Nizo. Disclaimer: nothing is beating the original, but we are using it for comparison. I will be updating this blog as I use the camera more, but I wanted to get my initial impressions up and out to you.
