Highway 1 | California

I love California. There is so much beauty in one state, it is overwhelming at times.

In May of 2015, Heather and I decided to spend a week driving down California's Highway 1 - starting at Muir Woods, then from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

These are some of the highlights of the trip - it was truly an epic adventure. If you can, I recommend everyone take the route at one point in their lives.

Just put together a preview from Tara and John's gorgeous wedding at The Mansion at Oyster Bay! . . Here's one of my favorites from the day—that beautiful light! We had less than 10 minutes of this perfection from the sun and I made sure I ran around like a chicken to make sure we took full advantage of it!
I loved this boat date session in Central Park with Joe and Risa! And look at this beautiful light! . . Rowing a boat and taking pictures is a lot harder than it looks, especially when shooting to get that soft, dreamy background. Any slight movement when focusing (which will happen all of the time since we're moving) will make the subject blurry, not to mention avoiding other people and rowing the boat! . . . Of course, it was also incredibly fun, and for photographs like this, I welcome the challenge!
Here’s one of my personal favorites images from Lindsay and Brandon’s sunrise session in Montauk. . . On a side note, I just added a few more images from the session to my Instagram story!
Located on the eastern tip of Long Island, Montauk has always felt a bit like a piece of California located on the east coast. . . The scenery is beautiful, there's always great surf—if it wasn't so far away I would love to visit more often!
