Abbie + Hayley celebrated their love and commitment in Big Sur California. It was windy, and cold, but the two of them embraced their environment and really soaked in every second of their big day.

“…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…”

…Derek admitted to sometimes not even feeling like drinking coffee, but still going in to the store to buy a cup so he could talk to Kaia. Both being super shy about the other person, their love finally blossomed one day, when Derek asked Kaia on a date. Of course she couldn’t resit, and here they are today.

…Like seriously…EPIC STYLING. I’m so happy to have been apart of this unreal day, and I’m soooo excited to be sharing it with you all today!!! Thank you to all the amazing vendors that played a part in creating all this beautiful magic, and thank you to Matt & Courtney for having me there to capture it all!!!!

…The sun shining down on us, we had the most amazing time petting Burrito (the donkey), walking with the peacocks, dancing by the pool, playing with shadows, drinking, and dancing the night away. I was beyond excited to be invited to Mexico to capture the two of them celebrate years and years of love and friendship surrounded by their closest friends and family.

…God was truly the center of this special day in the PNW, and Hannah and Ryan made sure of that. I cried during their vows, because you could truly see just how much these two have been praying for each other, and waiting for each other.

…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?!

…Their ceremony was my favorite part of the entire day. All they had rehearsed, now revolved around this storm setting in behind them. A few raindrops came down during their ceremony, and almost instantly we were in a downpour.

…Alyssa is one of my BEST friends, and she has always been there for me 120% of the time. Every time we’re together, I’m reminded of why our friendship is so special, WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER. It could be 10 days, or 2 seconds, but whenever we talk or hangout, its like no time has passed.
