California Couples Photography

Adventure
Written By Flora Gibson

I’ve been shooting nonstop 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 Cameron responded, willing to do it! With a brain that immediately wants to create when inspiration hits, I was so grateful for them coming out within a few hours of me asking for a model. I can’t pick a favorite, but I think the last photo with them shirtless was an ultimate gasp when I started editing.

Jedediah Smith Redwood Elopement

Emily and Austin eloped at Jedediah Smith Redwoods this week in California. With a private ceremony surrounded by massive redwoods, they continued their day with a beautiful first dance on the beach, followed by a picnic, where they mixed custom cocktails, surrounded by my favorite feature, beach grass. They had such a beautiful day crossing back and forth between the Oregon and California border.

Borgo Sant’Ambrogio is such a beautiful wedding venue in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy. From its old-world charm to its many lawns and swimming pool, it offers a unique and beautiful backdrop for any wedding. I absolutely loved the proximity of Borgo Sant’Ambrogio to small, unique towns like San Quirico d’Orca and Bagno Vignoni for a relaxing night in the hot springs to a plethora of Michelin Star restaurants, and a perfect setting for a day before photography session. Running through the quiet streets of San Quirico before heading to a wonderful dinner.
