I had been wanting to shoot a Big Sur engagement session for a while, so when Priscilla and Duy said they wanted to do their engagement session in Big Sur, I couldn’t have been more excited. Being a California native, I think Big Sur is the crown jewel of our beautiful California coastline and is […]
When Tommy and Noah told me Sister Roma of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence was officiating their wedding, I knew it was going to be good!
