California Couples Photographer
N + K were married two days ago at the Santa Barbara courthouse but always wanted to have photos in Big Sur. I was so honored when N told me she had been following my work since before she was even engaged and knew she wanted me to be her photographer. They scheduled a three-hour elopement to have the best light in the forest and at sunset. A day before their session we saw that heavy rain and winds were in the forecast, so after a bit of rearranging, we were able to move it up by a day and skip all the rain. I actually normally love a misty, low-fog day, but three hours with heavy wind and rain can be difficult, so I was glad to be able to accommodate the move. Feeling so honored to be able to capture a bit of N + K’s love story in Big Sur.
Some love stories are best celebrated surrounded by the people who matter most, with the beauty of California's coastline serving as the perfect backdrop. Hannah and James' wedding was exactly that—a heartfelt celebration filled with breathtaking views, meaningful moments, and unforgettable memories. Their day began with an intimate ceremony at Wedding Rock, where they exchanged vows in front of their closest family. Perched above the rugged coastline, Wedding Rock offered sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, creating a setting that felt both peaceful and awe-inspiring.
