Big Sur, Carmel & Monterey Photographer for Proposals, Engagements, Elopements & Boudoir

I specialize in engagements, elopements, boudoir and portrait photography, capturing love stories, confidence, and authentic moments.

I’m based in Monterey and Carmel, California, but I frequently shoot in Big Sur. I love traveling for elopements and destination shoots—let's chat about your dream location!

My style is a blend of documentary and editorial, capturing authentic moments.. I focus on natural light, moody edits and creating a relaxed atmosphere.

For elopements and weddings, I recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance. Portraits and boudoir sessions typically book 2-3 months ahead. However, last-minute openings may be available!

My packages include a set number of hours, high-resolution edited images, a private online gallery and location & wardrobe guidance. Some packages also include a custom timeline and vendor recommendations.

Carmel is beautiful year-round, but the golden light and wildflower blooms of spring and fall offer especially dreamy backdrops. I’ll guide you through seasonal location options based on your vision and outfits.

My studio is located on Cannery Row in Monterey, just minutes from the coast. It’s designed with natural light, minimal styling, and cozy textures to create a space where you feel confident and comfortable.

I recommend flowing fabrics, soft colors, and layers that catch the wind — and I help all clients plan outfits to match the environment and your style. Wardrobe styling is included in every session.
