As lifelong artists, we believe the landscape is a crucial character in your story. This guide distills our mastery of the Monterey Peninsula, providing essential logistics on location selection and permit navigation. Use this resource to seamlessly plan your session across the dramatic beauty of Big Sur, Point Lobos, and the entire coastline.
Important Note on Permits: Many of the most cinematic locations—including California State Parks like Garrapata and sites in the Big Sur region—require a commercial photography permit. We handle the coordination, but you can find current application forms and fee schedules through the California Film Commission. For locations like Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, photography is often limited or restricted; call their special events coordinator at 831-624-3407 for the most current rules.
