K + J: Spring Calla Lily Beach Proposal

​When K planned a weekend getaway to Carmel with their friends, little did J know that it was all a guise to throw her off his scent of planning a surprise engagement in Big Sur. He told her that they were meeting up with some friends on the beach before a group dinner, so she followed his lead. He led her to a secluded spot away from the crowds, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect as the waves glistened in the sun and crashed against the rocks. With such a beautiful setting behind them, of course she said yes!

N + J: Big Sur Winter Engagement

One of my favorite times of year is November and December when the fall crowds die down. We locals living in the Central Coast all know the truth - that winter sunsets are truly the most beautiful. The sun sets over the coast at a certain angle that just highlights the cliffs in the most stunning way. Every once in a while, you'll also get massive waves that crash into the rocks, creating a landscape that just feels like a painting. N + J took their engagement photos in November and luckily got to see one of those beautiful winter sunsets! Check out the rest of their engagement session below.

T knew he wanted to do something special to propose to his partner. When they got to the viewpoint, he gave her headphones to listen to a song and a love letter to read, and then surprised her with proposing in Big Sur overlooking the coastline. Does it get more romantic than that?! Check out the rest of T + S's Big Sur coastal cliffside proposal.

A + J: Big Sur Redwoods and Coast Wedding Portraits

When A + J had planned to get married in Maui last year, they never could've imagined that their dream elopement on the cliffs and in the forests of Kaanapali would be devastated by the Maui wildfires. They spent days evacuating the island. They ended up eloping in Vegas, but never got a chance to wear their wedding outfits. A year later, A + J decided to reclaim their wedding day by adventuring in Big Sur. Though not the original Maui landscapes they planned, Big Sur reflected their love of the trees and the ocean that had drawn them in the first place. Check out the rest of their wedding portraits session below!

G + M: Big Sur Coast + Beach Engagement

G + M were introduced to each other through their parents, but it was their immediate strong connection that drew them to starting a relationship while in different countries - M, in California on the West coast, and G, in Toronto on the East coast. But distance couldn't keep them apart, and through their visits across the country, they found so much joy in getting to spend time with each other. It couldn't be more evident when I adventured with them in Big Sur. The moment their feet hit the sand on the beach, they were chasing each other, jumping into the water, splashing water everywhere, and laughing until they couldn't anymore. Check out the rest of their Big Sur engagement session below!

L + G: Big Sur Coast Engagement

With Big Sur, you never know what the weather's going to be like - the weather often changes by the minute, and even by the mile. But the best part is that no matter what the weather's like, you can't go wrong. When I was driving down Highway 1 to L + G's engagement shoot, I was immediately excited when I saw the fog banks rolling over the mountains. They told me the same thing when they parked, that one of the reasons they chose to get married here on the coast was because they loved way the fog made the coastline so magical, like it couldn't be real time. When we ventured out to the rocky cliffs, we were greeted with the most incredible view - golden rays of sun shining through the misty fog, the rocks fading into the distance. The mountains came in and out of the fog throughout their session, and we had to just stop and take it all in. It was truly an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime sunset (even with the hundreds of sunsets I've seen over this exact same coastline!) Check out the rest of L + G's Big Sur engagement session below!
