Being from the East Coast and 2400 miles from our home, we wanted our annivetsary in Carmel to be remembered forever. Adam not only captured memories that will last a lifetime, but we also gained a friend. Adam is a remarkable person and is gifted to give just the right guidance for capturing the most beautiful images on Carmel Sunset Beach during golden hour. We have worked with multiple photographers in the past, and Adam is a gifted photographer who truly captures moments in time. Let him capture your next big moment.

I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

Her excitement to shoot your engagement photos makes you even more excited to be getting married. Because she's so easy going and easy to talk to, she feels like an old friend, making you feel more at ease in front of the camera. From the first time we met, to our wedding she shot a week ago, I've had the wonderful pleasure of working with Rahel four times, and each time I just get more and more impatient to see the photos come out because I know just how good she is. I'm really sad that she'll be moving out of the Bay Area. The East Coast is getting one hell of an amazing wedding photographer!!

Best of all, she's easy to work with and she made us look amazing (I am going to hang up pictures from our engagement shoot in my living room). You don't need to worry about posing or looking great for the camera - she will make sure you are comfortable and everything will just look effortless and romantic. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a soft, dreamy look in their wedding photos that still feels authentically you.

I gave her an idea of what I wanted but let her do her own magic. I trusted her professional suggestions... She exceeded my expectations. I thought I was going to really like the pictures.

Update: Rebecca reached out to me and asked me to delete my review. We had a few messages back…read moreand forth. I stand by my original 2 star rating. I did agree to make some edits. She made no effort to make things right or apologize for us having a bad experience. Edited review: In 2019, I took my first born when he was 2 weeks old to Rebecca to get some shots for a birth announcement. We went in for a shoot, she said it would be a few hundred $ for the shoot. We didn't ask for it, but she really wanted to do a "classic" naked baby shoot with him asleep. We should have just said no thank you. In hindsight, this is obvious, but we ended up getting pee'd and poo'd on. We had to leave, as we didn't have any more clean clothes. She offered to have us back a week later, which was nice. We came back, and the baby was more cooperative. 3 weeks later, she has us come in and review the photos, they looked great! She wanted to sell us prints. We were only interested in the digitals, we should have asked about this before the shoot. We only found out that the digitals would be more than a thousand $ additional after the shoot. It left us feeling pretty sour because our baby was now 6 weeks old, and we had no choice but to pay her. The photos came out nice, and everyone loved the birth announcement, but I still think about the bad experience we had when I look at them. New: I've now hired professional photographers for all 3 of my babies, and I have context to be confident that there are better options elsewhere that include digital in their base price, and don't have a dated business model that assumes you are buying prints.
