Dallas lovers Kennie and Tate had the sweetest proposal at the beautiful Folktale Winery right here in Carmel, followed by beach portraits at Big Sur’s Garrapoda State Park! These two love all things wine, particularly sauvignon blanc or rosé for Tate. Naturally, Folktale Winery was a perfect choice! And as a photographer in the area, […]

A surprise proposal in Big Sur is my bread and butter as a local Big Sur photographer. What’s not to love about this coastal beauty? Especially at sunset!

Zsigmond and Ashley’s Santa Barbara engagement session reminded me of my favorite thing about being a destination photographer.

To one of my best friends of nearly four years: Shannon, thank you for the honor of choosing me to photograph your and Tom’s dreamy sunset Big Sur engagement portraits!

I was so thrilled to have met and photographed Sara and Austin’s Big Sur sunset engagement shoot yesterday! I can’t stress the importance of the relationship between photographer and couples enough but when there isn’t much opportunity to meet before the big shoot, making friends along the way is equally fun. The three of us […]
