C + S met in medical school and spent most of their time in long distance while in residency, but that didn’t stop them from building a strong community of family and friends who all showed up for them on their wedding day from across the country. From the very beginning, It was important to them to bring in Filipino traditions as a way of unifying their families, which made their day all the more personal. And there were so many tears, from the first look to the ceremony to the toasts that had everyone bawling. It was truly such an authentic, genuine celebration of a couple who was so deeply loved.

These two road tripped across the country with their two pups, adventuring at national parks along the way. Their final stop on the West Coast was Big Sur, where they stayed at an Airbnb with their families and eloped in the Big Sur redwoods. We had to of course include their pups in as many moments as possible, as they were just too adorable! Check out the rest of their Big Sur Lodge wedding below!

O + C shared the most beautiful, emotional day in the redwoods and on the coast - they were just filled with infectious joy and wonder as we turned every corner. Whether it was marveling at the giant trees, frolicking among the wildflowers, or just pausing to take in every moment of the golden sunlight painting the coastline, you couldn’t help but feel their love radiating in every moment of their day. They shared tears, laughter, conversations and memories as they sat down to picnic on the beach, or stayed behind long after sunset because they didn’t want the day to end. It was one of those days where we could’ve just stayed there forever. Check out the rest of their Big Sur elopement below!

These two came to Big Sur to celebrate their 10 year anniversary, and luckily they hit a heat wave for one of the most warmest days and stunning sunsets here in Big Sur! They wanted to bring along their two dogs, so I recommended this spot which I had saw the spring wildflowers blooming just a few days before. It ended up being the dreamiest session, with their two pups having the time of their lives running around on the beach and jumping into the river. Check out the rest of their session below!
 If you've always dreamed of a fairytale forest vibe for your engagement session, Big Sur is the place for you! D + A drove up to Big Sur just to see the redwood trees, so I took them to my favorite trails to chase the sunlight through the trees.

 J always envisioned a morning proposal, so we got up early to adventure out on the cliffs of Big Sur! It was the perfect way to start the day - clear blue skies, crystal clear waters, and lush green mountains made for a beautiful backdrop for her to say yes.

 D reached out to me as he started planning his proposal, and knew he wanted an intimate spot away from the crowds to ask the love of his life to marry him. I had the perfect spot in mind, so we planned to meet up in the same spot so that I could photograph his surprise proposal! It was such a sweet moment, and we got to chase the sunset on the beach after. You wouldn't even know how cold and windy it was with how gorgeous the view was!
