George & Melissa, One Year Anniversary | San Luis Obispo Elopement Photographer

One year ago, I woke up at 6am to a text message from my dear friend and photography cohort, Sabrina Klomp. It was an SOS. She had been stricken with food poisoning and was supposed to be photographing a wedding that day. This is why we have a village — to call for aid when we are in trouble. Sabrina had been there for me through many a quarry, and I was grateful to be able to show up for her in dire straights.

That wedding was George & Melissa’s (which you can see over on Sabrina’s blog, if you’d like).
And for their one year anniversary, I got to hang out with them on the Cambrian cliffs and do it all over again. Life is beautiful that way.

This girl is my sister.
Okay, she’s my cousin. But she’s my cousin in the way that she’s actually my sister.
And she decided she doesn’t need a special thing like a boyfriend or a wedding as an excuse to document her life as it is RIGHT NOW.

So she escaped the city for a few days and we went on a photo adventure, just like we used to when we were teenagers with freshly minted drivers licenses. It filled my heart to the brim, and my inspiration cup runneth over.

This feeling right here, the one you will see written all over her face and body language in these photos, THIS is why I’ve dreamed up the Persephone Unleashed retreat. It is for women who just want to connect with themselves, body and soul, in a new and exciting way. And you just don’t know how MAGICAL it is until you’ve done it.

I first met Sam 15 years ago when we worked together at a coffee house in our home town. It blows my mind how life puts you on a path, which intertwines with other paths, leads away from those paths, and then brings them back together again. Just a beautiful reminder that we are all connected.

Based in San Luis Obispo and traveling the globe documenting destination weddings, elopements, and stories of all kinds. Inspired by love, light, heartache, and all the things that make us human.
