Overview

****TOUR REQUIRES DRIVING TO LOCATIONS. FOLLOWING AND/OR MEETING AT LOCATIONS.

Spend the day with a travel and adventure photographer touring Big Sur and Monterey County. As a world traveler and Instagram influencer, I bring a unique perspective to photography and want to share both the beauty and excitement of travel, adventure, and photography with you, one frame at a time. 

Be sure to bring your walking shoes as we explore the area together and document our journey along the way. You can bring up to four people. This tour does include some driving. You will follow us along the beautiful California coast as we stop along Big Sur and walk along the coastal trails. We'll have the best time, and you'll have the pictures to remember it on both your camera and mine. This will be a fun adventure you won't forget.

Our next stop is a little further. As we head back toward Monterey, 30-45 mins. depending on traffic. We'll drive to Asilomar State Beach in Monterey, Ca. This long stretch of beach is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Monterey for its dramatic headlands and tidal pools as it's a little more remote than other beaches in Monterey proper.

Old Fisherman's Wharf

Our last stop is a 15-20 min. drive to Old Fishermans Wharf. This has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. Many days, you can see you the Sea Otter's swimming in the marina. The colors are vibrant and the photos memorable. I'll show you the best spots for photos and food. On your way out, I suggest you grab some of their famous taffy to go.
