S and S are getting married later this year in Oregon, and I’m so excited that they decided to include a Big Sur, California, engagement session before their wedding. I had such a good time getting to know them both and showing them areas of the coast they hadn’t explored before. We had some of the best moody light and big waves along the Big Sur Coast.

H + J chose Carmel by the Sea for their engagement session. They have known each other since high school, and their relationship is so full of laughter that it was easy to capture them naturally. I appreciate both of you for trusting me to preserve this time of your life in Carmel. I love Carmel for engagement sessions as a variety of landscapes and the ability to get away from crowds is second to none.

Andy and Vicki’s Engagement session in Big Sur California in the rain was one of my favorite sessions this year. I absolutely love when couples just embrace the weather and have fun no matter what, because I’m all about the mood.

Lauren and Courtney are Engaged!!! I felt so honored to work with Lauren on her proposal to Courtney at the beautiful Ventana Big Sur Hotel. Lauren and Courtney love playing Scrabble together and stay at Ventana Big Sur multiple times a year. Lauren had a custom Scrabble piece made on Etsy that said “Will You Marry Me?”.

N & M are getting married late this year at Sand Rock Farm in Santa Cruz, California. They contacted me to capture their engagement photographs in the non-cliff areas of Big Sur, we found several wide-open spaces, meadows, and rocky shores with awesome views of the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop and a beautiful sunset!

Paula and Phil chose Big Sur for their adventure session along the Big Sur Coast of California to commemorate where Phil proposed. The cliffs of Big Sur were awesome for their session and we got some amazing Cliffside photos and drone shots!
