A + N: Big Sur River Inn Wedding

What an incredibly special day for these two, who got married at Big Sur River Inn! This place had always been a special place for them - he had grown up in Carmel, and Big Sur was one of the first places they visited together. When they got engaged, they knew they had to get married here. But besides this coastal getaway, there was another place that meant so much to them - Japan. (In fact, it was these two’s recommendations to made us extend our own Japan trip!) A place where they fell in love, got engaged, and shared so many memories. So as an homage, they created a conbini snack bar with all the classics - Pocari sweat, milk tea, and melon pan just to name a few, and complete with a gachapon machine that dispensed custom artwork of them. They walked down the aisle to the soundtrack of Studio Ghibli, and her outfit was absolute perfection with a bow in her hair reminiscent of Kiki. All these touches made their day feel so personal - it couldn’t have been a more authentic reflection of their love story. Check out the rest of their Big Sur River Inn wedding below!

"​Absolutely incredible photography, professionalism, and communication.

Lynn was a joy to work with from start to finish for our wedding. From the initial intake and getting to know us as a couple, to nailing the details of the wedding the day of, to directing and making sure we had a good balance of candid, cinematic, and posed photos. Lynn managed to capture our personalities and joy so well while also making us feel like we were in a romantic fairytale. For couples who may be shy and unsure with their posing, Lynn provides easy and fun prompts that result in photos that look natural and romantic. Lynn also got the photos back to us fully edited and grouped by moments in the wedding in a very timely manner.

Absolutely would recommend Lynn for any wedding, but ESPECIALLY if you're getting married in Big Sur/Carmel/Monterey. Lynn is a seasoned pro who knows the best spots and best times of the day to capture that magical moment. Whether your a bride who has been planning their wedding for years, or a bride who needs a little more guidance - Lynn is able to adapt to your needs and capture the magical moments in photos that last for a lifetime." - A + N
