Deetjens Big Sur Elopement Photography

Elopement

Mar 28

Deetjens will always be my absolute favorite place to photograph eloping couples. The history, roaming cats, old leaded windows, unique styling, and natural light make it such a fun place to start a wedding day. I loved that J +K also appreciated Deetjens and had stayed there before! They even allowed a little time in their day for some romantic cuddles before getting ready. I loved how J wore K’s big oversized button-down as they copied their vows in their books. They booked several rooms together for their family to get ready with them so we had several options and lots of light. We stopped at the redwoods on the way to their ceremony on the coast, where their friends met up with us for the most windy and beautiful ceremony where her best friend and now husband dueled post-ceremony. J and k got the cutest customized cake toppers of their cats for their cake to include them in the day. Everyone celebrated with cake and champagne. We ended the night at the beach overlooks as the sunset it was absolutely beautiful !!

All my favorite vendors were there:

MUAH : MALINA TERRA HAIR AND MAKEUP

FLORALS: WILI WILD FLOWER

HOTEL: DEETJENS BIG SUR INN

Elopement Ceremony at Big Sur California

Big Sur Wedding Venue’s

Apr 9, 2025

K & G booked me for two-day wedding coverage over their wedding weekend in Big Sur. I had so much fun getting to hang with them the day before their wedding for portraits; It’s always so nice to be able to do portraits in a relaxed way . This allowed K & G to really get to know me and relax on their wedding. K allowed me to really just document most of her day which allowed so much opportunity to be creative, have a relaxed loose timeline without rushing from one thing to the next. I loved how they utilized the Wind and Sea property with most of their wedding day happening outside. Using the grassy lawn for the ceremony, the deck for dancing and cocktails, and the fire pit lawn for beautiful farm-style dining. It’s exactly how I think the property should be used.

Vintage Car Engagement Session

Mar 31, 2025

When B reached out to me, his immediate love of vintage cars came through. His question was how he could include a vintage Porsche during his engagement session and I connected him to Monterey Touring Vehicles locally. When he showed up with this beauty I was sooo excited, their willingness to sit down in the dirt and drive a little farther really paid off. Their shoot feels so editorial to me, and I was so excited they chose me for this one!
