Coming from Sacramento, I had no clue where to pull off the surprise, but Lorinda had the answers for everything.

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!)
