Hi, My Name Is Christian

I'll Be Your Big Sur Photographer

Hello there! I’m Christian, a Monterey-based photographer specializing in exclusively elopements.

I moved to the area after getting my B.S. in Biology from Fresno State in 2021. I absolutely love everything about the outdoors which makes the Monterey Bay area the perfect place for a photographer to call home. From the beautiful beaches of Pacific Grove, to the forests deep in the heart of Big Sur, there’s always a location that suits the mood. I never planned to become a photographer until I moved to the coast and just wanted to take pictures of all the beautiful scenery and the people enjoying it.

I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit and followed it to build my own business. I became a father in early 2023, which was the spark I needed to take on more clients and fill my free time with photography. I started with headshots and family portraits but quickly transitioned to only elopements.
