I started my 2019 season off by traveling to Maui to photograph Susan and Dean's intimate wedding at Gannon's Molokini Lookout in Kihei... And I must say, it was an awesome way to start my new year! The couple chose Maui for their destination wedding simply because they wanted to go somewhere warm and beautiful. Their celebration only had 12 guests, and the intimate setting of Gannon's Molokini Lookout was the perfect choice for their wedding. Susan & Dean got ready with their family at a gorgeous Airbnb nearby before heading up to the lookout for their ceremony. After their ceremony, we headed down to the beach for a quick sunset photo session..... because hey, when in Maui!
I've been dreaming of photographing a Big Sur elopement since I moved to California years ago, so I was SUPER stoked when Elizabeth & Brian reached out to me to photograph their intimate elopement amongst the Red Woods and along that unstoppable Pacific Coast. Their wedding, without a doubt, was one of the most humbling experiences of my photography career yet. I know that's a bold statement, but y'all... Big Sur is freakin' magical. Sharing your vows in a place this private and serene is incredibly personal, untraditional, and simply stunning. This was my first time visiting Big Sur, and I very quickly learned that what Big Sur lacks in modern day communication (aka no cell service), it makes up in seriously jaw dropping views and real human connections. This is where you go to get away from it ALL. This is where you go to spend uninterrupted days with your absolute favorite person in the whole world. And... that's exactly what Elizabeth & Brian did.
