Rooted in Big Sur, Will Travel Anywhere to Capture Love Stories
What It’s Like to Elope in Big Sur
Eloping in Big Sur is quiet, intentional, and rooted in nature—redwoods, coastal cliffs, shifting fog, and space to slow down. It’s not about a production or a packed timeline, but about being present and doing things your way.
Many couples choose Big Sur for an intimate, meaningful experience, whether that looks like exchanging vows in the redwoods or overlooking the ocean and spending the rest of the day exploring together. With the right Big Sur elopement photographer, planning feels simple and supported, so your day stays relaxed, natural, and true to you.
Your wedding photos will be a blend of candid moments, epic scenery, and creatively artistic images.
My goal is to create photos that look like National Geographic and Vogue had a baby.
SO HOW DOES THIS ALL WORK?

Because Love Should Always Be An Adventure
For the non-traditional lovers who want to do something different on their wedding day. Those who want to spend their wedding day doing exactly what THEY want. Drive a motorcycle down Highway One? Hell yeah! Have a sushi picnic on the cliffs overlooking the ocean? I'll bring the chopsticks! Get matching tattoos the day of your wedding? For sure!
I am a Big Sur elopement, wedding, & portrait photographer located in Monterey, CA. The people who seek me are looking for emotive images that capture their story.
Meet Your Photographer
A wedding & elopement photographer by day, an event planner and location scout by night. You’d think I’m joking right? I am not. My name is Jamie, I live in Monterey, California with my husband, two sons, a Frenchie, Chocolate Lab puppy, a cat, and four chickens. When I’m not photographing weddings, or helping clients plan an elopement - you’ll find me at a baseball game, or hiking in Big Sur.
If you're planning to get married and want to do it your way - I'm here to guide you through the whole process!
Big Sur and Beyond
Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a redwood forest - you deserve to get married however you want to. I’ll be sure to help you plan and save those beautiful memories for years to come.
