Big Sur, California Sunset Anniversary Session // Kristen & Chris

Elopement

Oct 4

When Kristen and Chris asked me to photograph them for their 9-year anniversary I couldn't wait! Kristen and I worked together to make sure her vision came to be, from outfits, makeup, and location they nailed it. Formal outfits in wild rustic locations will always have my heart. As we hiked across Big Sur, over rocks and lots of wild waves people loved to shout congratulations. I usually suggest couples wear shoes that are comfortable and minimal, and outfits that complement the color scheme of the location. These two are permanent friends and such a lovely couple to photograph.

Garrapata Beach Elopement

Oct 31, 2024

Claudia and Avery Eloped this week in Carmel, California, with both their best friends, all the love in the world for each other, and nothing but laughter. We adventured to the cliffs where their friends led them through heartfelt vows; they celebrated with a champagne spray and shots. We explored Garrapata Beach for couples portraits and their first dance on the beach. They had the most beautiful, heartfelt day, and I felt so lucky to be a part of it.

Natasha Hall and Leo Howard are married!

Sep 12, 2024

Natasha Hall and Leo Howard were married in Big Sur this week. They had a private vow exchange by the river under the redwood trees in the forest of Big Sur, followed by an adventure on the coast, which we drove up the Ridgeline I saw the moon peek out above the Bixby with the golden field in the foreground. Then we greeted all their family and friends at the Airbnb. It was such an honor to document their love.

Deetjens Big Sur Elopement Photography

Sep 12, 2024

L & P eloped this week at Deetjens Big Sur for their California elopement; they are high school sweethearts who have been together for years and wanted to explore Big Sur for the first time together on their road trip from Washington. I suggested Deetjens for its proximity to beautiful redwoods with overall charm. We started their wedding day with a quick cuddle in the cabin before having a first look in the redwoods; then, it was off to the cliffs and beach for a champagne toast at sunset.
