We are SO lucky we found Daniel for our Big Sur elopement!

My now husband I planned a last minute elopement because our original plans got derailed by Covid. We chanced upon Daniel's photography services on an extensive search, and we are SO glad we found him! Daniel knew of a private and special location for our elopement that we would not have been able to find without him. If not for him, we may have given up on our dream to elope in Big Sur!

We love our photos so much!! They really capture every moment of our elopement and the beauty of Big Sur. The colors are phenomenal, and we are so happy looking at them. We couldn't have asked for a better day! Daniel was very professional and friendly. We also appreciated his energy and excitement in capturing our day- we could tell he was just as amped as we were and was great at cheering us on!

Thank you again, Daniel! Can't wait to share these with our family and friends.
