Big Sur Holiday Photography Session

Sep 4

Melissa, Anthony, and Brooks were visiting Monterey from Texas and wanted to take their family photos by the beach. Melissa grew up here and was looking forward to spending time with family and capturing baby Brooks the first time by the ocean. I was so honored they chose me to capture their holiday photos in my hometown. I was able to show them a beach and location they had never seen before and capture memories they will be able to pass down to future generations. Early morning photo shoots are becoming my favorite sessions.

Big Sur Engagement

May 14, 2024

M & K eloped in last week. They started their wedding day at The La Playa Hotel in Carmel for their get-ready photos then they traveled to the ceremony in a vintage Thunderbird to Fanshell Beach along 17-Mile drive. We then adventured to Big Sur for cliffside sunset photos and their first dance on the beach and a toast to the newly married couple.

Santa Cruz Wedding

May 14, 2024

K & E eloped in the redwoods at the Sequoia Retreat Center in Santa Cruz California. There is a private redwood grove, with close access to the wildflowers and bluffs off the coast. K & E said their vows under the redwoods and had a first look outside of their suite. They had the sweetest cake from Gayle’s Bakery which they enjoyed on the bluffs, And they finished their beautiful elopement day with a first dance as the sun tucked below the horizon.

Garrapata Beach Elopement

Apr 20, 2024

Camila and Greg Eloped this week at Garrapata Beach. When Hwy 1 had a rock slide a week ago we had to quickly pivot away from their original plan of getting married in the redwoods. They found an incredible Airbnb at Ribera Beach where they had their first look and ceremony. From there we adventured down the coast with an impromptu cheesecake on the hood of their rented vintage Thunderbird. They were both so full of joy and love it was infectious.
