Athena & Anthony’s Monterey engagement photos
Ah, Monterey. It can be so beautiful — the rocky coast line, the wide sandy beaches, the sparkling bay.
It can also be so darn foggy.
On the evening I went with Athena and Anthony to make their Monterey engagement photos, the fog got progressively thicker, eventually turning into something close to a light rain. But that didn’t stop us from finding lots of great places to shoot and coming up with a wonderful set of engagement pictures.

Leslie & Ryan’s Big Sur wedding
What I can say to sum up Leslie & Ryan’s wedding? There were fire dancers. Custom home-brewed beer. We saw endangered California Condors. Abe Lincoln was there. The weather was beautiful and the ceremony was touching and the setting was incredible. It was quite a day.
Leslie & Ryan got married under the redwoods during a wedding at Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur, California. These two are good friends of mine, and were the subject of a marathon engagement session a few months back.

Sunita & Brian’s Big Sur engagement photos
It’s hard to go wrong on a photo shoot in Big Sur. Still, it always helps to have great light, no matter where you go.
So it was with some trepidation that Sunita, Brian, Conner and I drove down a very foggy Highway 1 on our way to make their Big Sur engagement photos.
Sunita and Brian love Big Sur, as I do, and had at least one spot in mind for their engagement session. I had put a lot of pressure on myself to make this one great, since Sunita and Brian are friends with Leslie and Ryan, and all our mutual friends had been raving about their Big Sur engagement pictures, which I shot a couple months ago. Photographers are always judged by their past work, but when the past work involves close friends, well, let’s just say I didn’t want to disappoint.

Leslie & Ryan’s Big Sur engagement photos
Moments before we left to shoot Leslie and Ryan’s Big Sur engagement photos, I sent them some instructions via text message: “Bring some extra socks and a towel that you don’t mind getting dirty.”
They probably wondered what they were getting themselves into. The foreshadowing led into a marathon engagement session, which included standing in a river, lying in a bed of clover and synchronized jumping on a beach to produce a stop-motion video.
