Jillian and Drew’s Carmel engagement photos along the 17-mile drive in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, was nothing short of spectacular. They brought along their adorable pup, Charlie, and together, they made some seriously Instagram-worthy moments. The backdrop? Let’s just say it was drop-dead gorgeous.

As a luxury destination wedding photographer, I’m all about capturing moments that make you feel something deep in your soul. Carmel-by-the-Sea is like something out of a dream, a place where couples like Jillian and Drew can step into a scenery that’s nothing short of jaw-dropping.

Being a photographer in Carmel-by-the-Sea means I get to explore this quaint coastal town and its stunning beaches like a treasure hunter. The Carmel coast is perfect for couples looking to turn their engagement photos into a work of art. Think sweeping ocean views, towering cypress trees, and rocky shores that set the stage for a love story like no other.

But wait, there’s more! Just a hop and a skip away is the grandeur of Big Sur. As a Big Sur photographer, I get to capture the untamed beauty of this rugged coastline. You’ll find cliffs that make you gasp, waves that roar, and redwoods that stand tall and proud. It’s a dream setting for any couple’s big day.

California is like a wonderland of gorgeous backdrops for weddings and love stories. As a California wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky enough to snap photos in some of the most stunning settings you can imagine. From the sun-soaked beaches down south to the vineyards up north in Napa Valley, there’s something for every kind of couple.

So, whether you’re dreaming of a destination wedding or engagement photos in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Big Sur, or anywhere else in California, I’m your go-to photographer. I’m here to capture the beauty, joy, and love that come with these precious moments. Let’s make memories that’ll keep you grinning for years to come! Book us for your Carmel engagement photos.

From the first wedding I ever photographed to ones years later—I’ve yet to come down from the high of being part of a couple’s best day and putting it in digital form to look back on for a lifetime. I take my craft seriously, and that means serving you in all aspects on your wedding day, and the days leading up to it.
