The back story:
In 2018, my wife and I got married, It was the perfect intimate wedding surrounded by our closest friends and family. We knew we wanted to get married in an epic location and also in a location that is significant to our relationship and, more importantly, celebrate what’s most meaningful to us: intimacy, love, and creating experiences together. Having an intimate wedding gave us insight into how to create a day focused on the things that matter so that we could enjoy and cherish each moment to make the day our own.

I’m excited to be more than just your Big Sur photographer! My goal is to help you create a truly meaningful experience that reflects who you are. Together, we’ll craft an amazing wedding day, allowing you to soak in every special moment while beautifully capturing your love story.
It’s So Much More Than Wedding Photography in Big Sur
To be fully honest, taking pictures is a small but significant part of what I do. As important it is to capture your Big Sur elopement day, it’s our connection that is the most meaningful and important aspect of all that I do. Before each elopement and wedding day, I invest my time in getting to know you and your story as a couple.

Whether if it’s celebrating personal traditions or creating new ones together, having a Big Sur elopement for just the two of you or surrounding yourself with your closest friends and family for an intimate wedding; the day should be full of love and memories and created around what matters to both of you.
No matter what it is that you’re planning; if it’s important to you it’s important to me.
