L + J got married on top of the world. Well, it felt like it. With their immediate families and closest friends as their witnesses, they said “I do” at a private residence they found through Airbnb or VRBO. It was one of the ONLY houses on a long stretch of coastal gorgeous Highway 1 […]

I’ve been waiting for a client to choose this favorite spot of mine to propose! It’s one of the most spiritual, special spots to me. The redwoods grow in almost a perfect circle, often called a fairy ring, and he proposed right in the middle. I heard there are only 25 of these fairy rings, […]

Leading up to Eden’s proposal, it rained for three days straight..and it was the first rain I had honestly seen since moving here in May! He had a cliffside picnic in Big Sur planned for his proposal and I was totally stressing. I figured it would start raining or be too cold and windy and […]

Paul contacted me about photographing his proposal on a cliff in Big Sur. This story has a great ending but HOLY hell it was terrifying as it happened. He had seen photos of a ceremony I shot at this one unmarked turnoff and wanted to propose there. So I told him where it was. Since […]

I photographed Big Sur locals who live and work here. So of course they knew the best unmarked trail in Big Sur to take some epic engagement shots at sunset! They are getting married next month! Congratulations, guys! xoxo

Hi! Just stopping in quick to share that I am now a preferred wedding artist of my FAVORITE wedding blog of all time, Green Wedding Shoes! When I was planning my wedding in 2015, I found our wedding photographer on Green Wedding Shoes, so it’s obviously a special site to me. It’s also just the […]

I could photograph proposals every day and never get sick of it. I mean it when I say it is an honor to be present for such a significant moment in otherwise strangers’ lives…and it gives me a happy love bubble high. This was a fun one because he proposed during the session as a […]

This was my first time photographing a silver anniversary (25 years)! C + T flew from across the country to celebrate their anniversary by glamping at Ventana Big Sur. They hadn’t taken photos professionally of the two of them since their wedding! We took photos at their tent, around the property, before heading down to […]

There’s so much to love about this story. R+M flew from their home of Köln, Germany and eloped on a cliffside of Big Sur, without even telling their friends and family! The whole ceremony was in English except the vows they had written for each other. Honestly, that was my favorite part because they said them […]
