Planning styled shoots is always so much fun — the ideas and possibilities that flow through your head seem endless, and somehow you have to wrangle them up, and determine a strong direction for the shoot to ensure cohesion and a beautiful result

Stinson Beach holds a very special place for today’s couple, which made it the perfect setting for their nuptials.  Anna, the bride, has been going to Stinson Beach since she was a little girl at her family’s beach house.  Once she and Brian started dating, heading to Stinson Beach for weekends became a ritual, so it was the obvious place to begin their wedding venue search!

Visitors come from all over the world to witness the iconic magic the California coast has to offer, and we wanted to capture this refined coastal spirit in our styled shoot.  Big Sur has an amazing color palette to work from, we simply added textural layers to compliment the natural coastal tones of blues and greys, keeping the feel of the shoot organic and simplistic.
