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.

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.

Jason and Jordan – Switzer Lake Engagement – Virginia

Jason and Jordan are adventurers. They LIVE to explore cities, taste coffee and stargaze together at Switzer Lake. Naturally, the Lake was the best location for their engagement session. While we walked around the shore waiting for the sun to set, Jason told us about the time he and a friend drove a boat to the Bahamas. Drove a boat to the Bahamas. Drove a boat to the Bahamas. Maybe one day we’ll be that cool.

When Jordan first contacted us back in January, I could tell right away that we needed to meet these people. Besides loving to explore, they’re simply down to earth. Jordan, being a designer, noticed and embraced the anti-cookie-cutter in our approach to photography…and that, my friends is what I consider to be the ultimate compliment from a fellow artist.

I hope you enjoy this engagement session as much as I enjoyed creating it.

After photographing a wedding in Joshua Tree California (coming to the blog soon) we headed to the coast, visiting the San Bernardino National Forest, Los Angeles and the Sespe Wilderness on the way. Over the next week we slowly worked our way north to meet Paul and Lindsey in Portland, Oregon.

Jordan and Diana’s backyard wedding on the Chesapeake Bay was the epitome of simplicity. Seriously…25 total guests and a quiet ceremony on a blanket in the sand in front of a tall pine tree, followed by dinner on the deck and a relaxing bonfire. Smiles all day long. We need more weddings like Jordan and Diana’s wedding.

Virginia Beach Wedding on the beach in October at high noon bright day

Rory and Becah are such an amazing couple. In addition to being some of the nicest and most understanding people ever, they’re SO good at just being themselves (while ignoring that there’s a man with a funny looking beard and hairdo pointing a lens at them). I feel so fortunate to have been asked to capture the story of their October waterfront wedding in Virginia Beach. Enjoy!

enjoying lemonade on porch under a vine summer engagement session shot on Fuji 400H

Before the cooler weather started moving in, we met up with Michael and Gracie to shoot some engagement photos. I really didn’t have much of a vision for a theme as the time approached, however, about thirty minutes before Michael and Gracie arrived I decided there at least needed to be lemonade. Aneila and I then walked outside and noticed an orchard across the field from our house. We never even knew it existed!! That was it. Everything else just fell into place.
