A Dream Elopement Amidst the Calla Lilies of Big Sur

I recently had the delight of shooting in Big Sur, and what a surprise awaited us! For the first time, I caught the calla lilies blooming—absolutely stunning. It’s rare to see them like this, and it made photographing our lovely couple there even more special.

We had such an incredible vendor team for this shoot – For The Good Events (one of the West Coast and Hawaii’s best planners, in my opinion) is always such a dream come true. Her ability to bring about a luxurious yet intimate vision in a place like this is why I love to work with her. Not to mention, Earth’s Laugh Floral, who provided gorgeous floral arrangements that perfectly complemented the naturally breathtaking landscape, really brought the scene together. The bride’s dress couldn’t have been more perfect for the breezy, serene setting of Big Sur. It captured the essence of the day—effortless and beautiful.

I’m always amazed at how each trip to Big Sur reveals something new. This visit was truly memorable, and I can’t wait to share more from this shoot! Check out the full vendor team and see my images below!
