M & K eloped in last week. They started their wedding day at The La Playa Hotel in Carmel for their get-ready photos then they traveled to the ceremony in a vintage Thunderbird to Fanshell Beach along 17-Mile drive. We then adventured to Big Sur for cliffside sunset photos and their first dance on the beach and a toast to the newly married couple.

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.
