Wedding at Carmel Mission Basilica in Monterey County, California
R & A’s family and friends followed them north from Palmdale, California, to a traditional Catholic wedding at the breathtaking Carmel Mission Basilica, a stunning historic venue in the idyllic town of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Serendipitously, their nuptials fell on the very date of the Mission’s 250th anniversary. It was such an honor to be in that space in that moment in time—and to be part of R & A’s love story.

She covered my wedding ceremony, and reception in Carmel California, and my husband and I were extremely satisfied, and happy. Ahead of Pamela's beautiful work, she's also a beautiful human being. Very professional, and humble. Please, please, please hire Pamela as your photographer. You will not be disappointed!” (The Knot)
