Engagement

Monterey Photography creates engagement sessions that are both romantic and refined — capturing your natural connection in iconic settings like Carmel Beach, Pacific Grove, and Big Sur. Each session blends sophistication with authenticity, offering timeless portraits that feel elegant, personal, and unforgettable.

At Monterey Photography, your engagement session is more than a photo shoot — it’s the elegant first movement of your love story. We treat these sessions as both romantic and practical: a chance to fine-tune posing, explore how we’ll work together, and create space for your natural connection to shine.

With over three decades of expertise, we design each session to feel effortless while still refined. From sunsets on Carmel Beach to strolls through Pacific Grove and the dramatic cliffs of Big Sur, every portrait is carefully crafted to reflect your style and story.

Our approach blends classic direction with candid spontaneity, ensuring your photographs look polished without losing authenticity. The result is a collection of timeless engagement portraits that feel genuine, romantic, and unforgettable — the perfect prelude to your wedding day.
