Alyssa & Sean

Carmel By The Sea, California

This wedding felt truly special. I arrived the Thursday before the big day, and Sean picked me up from the airport. First stop? In-N-Out, of course — a perfect start to the weekend!

The celebration unfolded over three days, starting with the rehearsal on Friday, which had a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. Saturday was the main event — the energy, the emotions, the whirlwind of moving between different locations. It was a bit of a logistical puzzle, but thankfully, with Chelsea (my second shooter), we stayed organized and covered everything beautifully.

To wrap up the coverage, we headed to a place that holds a special meaning for Sean and Alyssa: a redwood forest. There, we did a more artistic photo session, wandering through the serene beauty of the national park.

As a photographer, being part of a wedding like this is a true privilege. I’m incredibly grateful to A&S for placing their trust in me to capture such an important and unforgettable weekend.
