M & A were married in the giant redwoods of Big Sur, California. The accommodations at Glen Oaks Big Sur were the best! As always! We met at their room for the get-ready photos with the outdoor clawfoot tubs surrounded by the redwoods which set the mood for the intimate ceremony among the redwood trees.

Carina and RJ came to Big Sur and stayed at Ventana for their adventure elopement. Their first look was under the tall redwoods and the ceremony was on the edge of the cliffs on the Big Sur coastline where they both had the sweetest words while reading their vows with the Pacific Ocean waves crashing behind them!

Corey and Adam were married in Big Sur, California after postponing three times due to Covid, the hotel shutdowns, and fires. We finally meet at Ventana Big Sur in October so they could have their dream elopement! They were married in the forest among the redwood trees and exchanged the sweetest vows! Congratulations to you both!

Ebony and Blake were married at the Big Sur River Inn along the trickling Big Sur river, they included their son Nile in the day from the first dance on Leon Bridge to the cake cutting shared between them. It was such a beautiful family affair.

Taryn and Alex are from Los Angeles and absolutely fell in love with the Big Sur Coast. After having to postpone their wedding due to Covid, they decided to have an adventure elopement instead. They stayed at Glen Oaks, so we adventured along the coast to some of my favorite places, with the coolest inverted fog layer most of the day, the low fog is my absolute favorite and sets the most romantic mood.

Jim and Vanessa came to Big Sur, California for their engagement shoot. The day was perfect with a little wind and sunshine which was perfect for the forest location and the windy cliffs of Big Sur! I can’t wait for their Wyoming wedding later in the year.

Gabby and Andy were engaged in Big Sur this week! They had never been to Big Sur before so I was able to take them to some awesome places, the Big Sur Lilys were in bloom so we couldn’t ask for a better day!   I had the best time showing Gabby and Andy the Monterey Coast for their engagement session!!

Melissa and Ed Eloped under the redwoods of Glen Oaks in Big Sur. The sun peaked through the trees during their intimate ceremony as they read their vows. Melissa and Ed were feeling overwhelmed with the planning process of their big celebration back in North Carolina and wanted to have a moment just for them. The day before their ceremony they hiked in Pfeiffer and enjoyed some fun breweries in Monterey.

Ali and John were visiting Big Sur from San Diego as a couple after being separated by deployments for many months. They have a son at home but really needed a reset to connect with each other. They decided to save the last day of their trip for an adventure down the PNW with me! From some beautiful Big Sur caves and remote beaches with cliff overlooks I truly feel like Big Sur still has some hidden local locations.

Kait and Matt decided to elope in Big Sur after the wedding planning in Virginia became overwhelming. They started to feel like they were planning a day for everyone else instead of celebrating their love. After seeing photos of Big Sur Kait and Matt knew immediately this was the place.
