Pebble Beach Estate Wedding

I wanted to share a few pictures from a fun wedding held at a Pebble Beach estate named Woods Hole. The couple, their friends and family were so fun to work with and the location is just superb. The weather that day was a little touch and go, we had a risk of rain drop kissed ceremony, but were spared from the rain and enjoyed a beautiful day.

You can check out more information about this venue here:

We did a few engagement pictures on the beach the night before the wedding:

Carmel Beach Wedding

We recently shot an intimate wedding at Carmel beach, it was such a perfect sunny day with a beautiful couple and big white dog who knew how to steal the show.

The pup was well groomed and waiting for the ceremony, just in case you are curious he is a goldendoodle

The pup commanded a bit of attention when he became a little worn out from wedding festivities so he laid on his stomach in the middle of the sidewalk.

Romantic picks at Garrapata Beach

One of our absolute favorite places to take couples shots is Garapatta Beach, http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=579 it is about 6 miles south of Carmel. I love this beach because it has beautiful soft sand, nice waves, no seaweed and generally lots of privacy. A while ago we did an anniversary photo shoot with a lovely fun couple.

Pebble Beach Celebration

We recently enjoyed a wedding and reception on a sunny Pebble Beach afternoon. It was such a beautiful day!

It’s difficult not to fall in love with a bouquet that is filled with orchids!

The ceremony view was so beautiful, the balcony location (in front of The Library) at the lodge is perfect for an intimate ceremony.
