We researched more than 50 photographers before finding Flora, whose aesthetic and experience were immediately appealing to us. - She accommodated our requests and vision while staying true to her expertise - She encouraged an ambitious shoot, including sunrise photos at Glacier Point, and was flexible in her schedule to accommodate the other events of the weekend - She delivered our full suite of 2000+ photos a month after the wedding, which was incredible - She did a great job putting us at ease during the shoot, making it feel natural and fun Overall, Flora is an easy recommendation for your wedding, especially if it's in a more natural setting or involves anything off the beaten path. We're grateful for all the work she put in for us!

Flora is incredibly thoughtful, talented, and invested. When we first started looking for potential…read moreelopement photographers, we really had no idea where to start. I googled, and conveniently Flora was one of the first ones to come up for us. As soon as I saw her site and portfolio, I was blown away by what she's able to create for couples. If only I could be so lucky.. When we met with her the first time, she was very warm, approachable, and I could tell she picks up on personal details so quickly. We signed with her not long after- really just an awesome 45 minute experience and we already felt comfortable with her! Fast forward to itinerary planning and putting custom touches on our special day- Flora was responsive, available, and willing to work with us to make it the most memorable and unique experience. Flora knows all the best spots along Monterey/Big Sur for timeless, romantic photos. As a guide on our wedding day, it was like we had known her for years- she has a way of cutting through any anxiety and just making you feel so seen and understood. I don't usually enjoy or feel comfortable when someone is taking my picture or staging photos- with Flora, I had none of that, and actually really loved the experience. Our itinerary was exactly as planned, including a couple nice-to-have spots we weren't even thinking of. I would work with her again and again at the drop of a hat. Thank you so much for being a part of this with us. We couldn't have done it without you (and wouldn't want to!)

The whole time, she was so great at telling us where we needed to be and how to pose to get the perfect shots. The photos all came out beautifully, and we're having such a hard time deciding on just a couple to get printed! Leading up to the wedding, we had multiple meetings to discuss the wedding timeline, shots that were important to us, and all of the other important logistics. They were always very well thought-out in advance, and Taylor was incredibly responsive to all of our other questions between calls. We are so glad that we got to work with Taylor and hope that we have more opportunities to in the future! 10/10 experience!

I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

As a wedding planner on the Monterey peninsula I work with a ton of photographer, but some stand out as professionals that really are able to not just capture a wedding but capture your personalities, your special moments and the little things that you forget in the whirlwind of your day. I could go on and on about how wonderful Shannon is but one conversation with her and you will see for yourself that this is a person that you can trust to capture your story and tell it better than you would yourself.

If you're looking for a photographer who will spend time to genuinely learn about you as a person,…read moreuse her years of experience to be an invaluable source of wisdom and calm on your wedding day or special event, and deliver stunning shots that you will treasure for the rest of your life, look no further. Shannon is a photographer that you can trust with the most important moments of your life, without a worry in the world. And in fact, she made ours measurably more amazing just by being there. In our engagement shoot, not only did she encourage my husband and me to experience emotional moments without feeling awkward, but she brought out a side of us that we didn't even know existed. We will remember that experience forever. And the wedding day itself was like we had an additional wedding coordinator on hand. Shannon was a respectful yet confident guide during a day when you're so overwhelmed by it all. My family and friends all commented on how professional and FUN she was to work with, and we all agree that the finished product was completely worth the investment we made in her professional services. Besides the attention to detail in getting photos of all the important moments, her photography style itself is stunning. Check her out on Instagram, and you'll understand what I mean. The way she captures light creates a feeling that is modern, clean, and bright, which is such a beautiful aesthetic for portraits, detail shots, and landscape-style pictures alike. The hardest part is having to pick which pictures you want to print and have in an album!!! Shannon will be photographing a day you will never get to live again, but you can relive it over and over through the magical shots that she captures. Shannon makes the whole experience an absolute pleasure. 10/10 - would highly recommend to anyone looking to be gifted with incredible, lifelong photo memories!!!

I initially only had him booked for our ceremony, but we got so much more time and more pictures than expected. A big reason for our renewal was due to having a lack of photos from our original wedding. JH has sent me half of the ones from our session within only a couple of days (special request from me to get some thank you cards out) and I'm already satisfied. Thanks again!
