Paul and Lindsey – Wedding at the Big Sur River Inn, California

california wedding in Big Sur at the Big Sur River Inn

A dream of mine has been fulfilled. We photographed a wedding in Big Sur, California…one of the most chill weddings ever.

Throughout Paul and Lindsey’s day, Lindsey’s carefully crafted schedule allowed for several hour-long stretches of chill time. Seriously folks…put simply: this is how it’s done. Nothing was rushed. Nothing was missed. Paul and Lindsey were married. Portraits were captured (on film!). Vinyl was played. People danced. Dinner was served. Toasts were made.

By the end of the night we almost felt like we were a part of the family. That’s the kind of people the Koro and Miles families are…I hope you enjoy one of my favorite weddings of all time.

Kiki and Josh – Wedding at Joshua Tree Inn – Joshua Tree, California

california desert wedding on halloween at the Joshua Tree Inn

California is our favorite. Ever since we started doing annual cross country road trips in 2013 I’ve dreamed of photographing a wedding there one day. The Golden State literally contains every type of land form that we find interesting. Granite Mountains. Ocean. Sandy beaches. Cliff beaches. Redwood forests. Deserts. When Kiki and Josh first contacted us to photograph their Halloween wedding in Joshua Tree, it was hard to contain my excitement.But I did. And they booked us! We ended up driving the 2500 miles, one-way, to photograph the Halloween wedding of Kiki and Josh at the Joshua Tree Inn.
