“…When Miriam first reached out to me, she was SURE I was going to be her wedding photographer. SO sure, in fact, she messaged me BEFORE she was engaged!!! AHAHA, she definitely said yes to the photographer before seeing the ring. But having been with Kholt for many years, she knew it was coming soon, and wanted to make sure her perfect intimate elopement was planned with plenty of time TO PLAN! hehe…”

…And when I finally met up with them in Big Sur to capture their engagement session, it felt as though I had been catching up with long lost friends. I’m not kiddinggggg hahah we all got along SO well together. I was so excited running all over these beautiful green and yellow hill sides once we just pulled over on some random road.

…They laughed, they cried, they took tequila shots during their wedding. Yup, ain’t joking about that one and I was SO EXCITED ABOUT IT.

…Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE SIMPLE PROPOSALS. But before I stuck my head full of ideas into places it shouldn’t be, I asked him if he would like any wine, or a blanket laid out for the two of them to celebrate afterwards. We talked a little bit more, and then a little more, and then a little more, before I heard the magic words from this groom to be: “Kayla, I trust whatever you think will look great, I know it will!”.

…They first met me at my house, and hopped in my car and off to the ocean we went!! On the way there we talked about how they met during spring break and one year later they got married!!!! AHHH <3 Isn’t that so so sweet?!

…Thank you to the team of Bixby and Pine and Wild and Unwritten for putting together this stunning elopement. I’m so happy I got to be apart of it!!!

…Throughout high school, I never believed I could do photography full time, let alone have people hire me for their wedding day. Jordanne never seemed to think twice about it. It was always “oh duh, Kayla will photograph us/them”.

Jordan + Brandan I’m literally obsessed with these two cuties!!! I cannot believe they hired MEEEEEEEE for their freaking wedding, like are you joking!?!? I’m so excited, but first, we gotta talk about their epic engagement session. LIKE C’MON. I don’t need to say much, just look how beautiful these two humans are, their cutie […]
