A Destination Big Sur Engagement

Romantic Engagement Photos | Damie & Brandon

Adventurous Engagement Photos in Big Sur, California | Central Coast Wedding Photographer

Damie and Brandon are built different. When they were a brand new couple fresh out of college, they tested their connection by jumping into a 6-week backpacking trip through Europe—what Brandon called “trial by fire” (which, luckily, worked out). Their adventurous spirits are perfectly complimentary, and their engagement photos could only reflect their natures if they took place in a place as epic, dramatic, and unforgettable as Big Sur. This world-renowned California coastline is a dream for any Big Sur engagement photographer. (And we couldn’t help but throw in a trendy, retro vibes photoshoot at In-N-Out to end the night. Because California.)

Why Big Sur is the Perfect Engagement Photography Destination

When you take portraits there, Big Sur isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a character in your story. Its rugged cliffs, lush forests, and expansive Pacific Ocean views create a setting unlike anywhere else in the world. Whether you’re hiking into hidden glens, exploring redwood groves, or standing together on windswept bluffs, Big Sur engagement photography captures the wild romance of California’s Central Coast. I’m constantly inspired by the dramatic landscapes and intimate moments that make each session there one-of-a-kind.
