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.

Rachel and Jonnie had the most beautiful elopement day at the Sequoia Retreat in Santa Cruz California. They originally planned their day in Big Sur but two days before their planned elopement the road slide happened and we had to re-plan to make their redwood dreams a reality. With the help of the Sequoia Retreat Center letting us use their beautiful property and the adventure to the coast in a rented vintage Mustang from Monterey Touring Vehicles and the most amazing picnic by the incredible Michelle with Forage Vintage rentals, their day came together beautifully.

M & J eloped in an intimate ceremony in Pebble Beach, California on a rainy afternoon last week. The private beach where the ceremony was held was one she had been tide-pooling since she was a child so it was extra special. After the ceremony they popped champagne and danced in the rain, as they finished their first dance the sun peeked out from behind the clouds and a rainbow appeared, It was beautiful!

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?”.

Chris and Brice's Elopement at the beautiful Post Ranch in Big Sur was a magical day filled with love and stunning views. From the intimate ceremony among the Post Ranch redwoods to their beachside cake cutting at sunset, every moment was beautiful and felt so honest and fun.

Frank and Alexis had a beautiful elopement in Big Sur, California. I had previously captured their engagement in San Francisco, so I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their wedding. They got ready at Glen Oaks Big Sur and had a small ceremony under the Redwoods along Highway 1. We then headed to the cliffs where the waves of the Pacific Ocean crashed along the coastline. It was a stunning location for their special day, and I was honored to capture their love in such a picturesque setting. Wedding photography in Big Sur, California is truly magical, and I am grateful to have been a part of this couple's unforgettable day.

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.

As a dog-obsessed Hooman! I would love to have your best friend along on your photo session, here in my blog I have some things you need to know.

F & A were married at San Francisco City Hall this week. I had the honor of meeting F & A in San Francisco, California for their engagement photo shoot earlier this year, It was clear the moment I met them they were head over heels in love and had a sense of adventure so I knew we were the perfect fit! I was so honored to be a part of their wedding day.

California engagement photographer of M+ R. They met while they were both on separate vacations in Anchorage Alaska, they chatted for a while in a local bar and exchanged IG info. A few months later they met up in Colorado and that is where their love story began.

M & E were married at De Tierra Vineyards in Corral De Tierra Salinas, California. The venue is awesome with the Hacienda House and vineyards as the backdrop. The ceremony was under the ivy arches in the garden, lunch was served by Crystal in the Hacienda House. We then had an adventure session at Pfeiffer Beach and the redwoods of Big Sur, Such a beautiful day!

Why I love adding on film to wedding days, from my favorite cameras, to why it’s an add on and why I always capture my own family on 35 mm.

Samantha and Brandon were married in the beautiful town of Crested Butte, Colorado, it was the perfect backdrop for a perfect elopement day!
