WE ARE THE DELAURAS
Editorial Wedding Photographers rooted in Adventure, Purpose, and Soul.
Our journey began on the steep slopes of Mammoth Mountain, where fate brought us together on a snowboarding adventure that would change our lives forever. Our first 'official' date was a whirlwind weekend of wine tasting at the Dohene Wine Festival, where we discovered a shared love for the finer things in life and the simple pleasures of good company, delicious food, and great conversation. From that moment on, we have been inseparable. Together we've been on countless adventures together--traveling to over 30 countries, from the beaches of the Maldives and Bora Bora, exploring the jungles of Bali, Thailand, and Sri Lanka and scuba diving in Moorea, Beliz, Ko Tao, and The Bahamas. Our snowboarding adventures have taken us to Austria, Japan, and Switzerland, and we've gone wine tasting in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Greece and Portugal. Our calendar is always full of Bucket List Destinations!
For eight years, we called Laguna Beach home, where we immersed ourselves in the laid-back coastal beach lifestyle, but our hearts called us to the rugged cliffs of Big Sur, where we exchanged vows in 2016 high above the crashing waves, surrounded by our favorite people in the world! In 2018, we made the bold decision to make Big Sur our permanent home, trading the conveniences of 'city life' for rugged mountains and the wildness of the sea. It has been here in Big Sur, amidst the great outdoors, that we have found the perfect backdrop for our shared passions – spending time out in nature, going on adventures with Otto--our 11 year old Boston Terrier, planning dinner parties with our friends, reading by the fire, and creating our dream life together.
Living, working, and building our business side by side, we are more than just partners – we're soulmates, collaborators, and kindred spirits on a mission to capture the love stories and weddings of couples with similar passions. With our keen eye for detail, boundless creativity, and genuine passion for our craft, we are more than just photographers – we are storytellers, weaving tales of love, laughter, and adventure with every image we capture. We strive to transport our couples back to the joyous whirlwind of their wedding day, allowing you to relive those precious moments time and time again. Our ultimate goal is simple: to ensure that every couple we work with can lock these memories in their minds forever, carrying the magic of your wedding with you for a lifetime.
