Point Lobos Carmel California Photography // Tommy and Shanee
Shanee, Tommy, and Layla were so fun and playful. Tommy and Shanee have a lot of memories together at Point Lobos on the California coast and even told me about some new locations for my family and me to visit. I had so much fun finding the light with this sweet family, they indulged me and stopped almost every two feet when I found better light. I know as my family grows the number of photos of my husband and me diminishes, I always try and get photos of mom and dad alone during these full family sessions. getting together in nice clothes with kids isn’t always stress-free but I think we will look back at these photos and be so glad we spent the time to take them.
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!
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!
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.
