​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!

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.

​D + J got married at their local courthouse that afternoon, and drove down to Big Sur to take their wedding portraits. We had one of the sunniest days we had in a while, and had such a blast running around the beach. Check out the rest of their wedding portraits session below!
