Where we shoot, on a map
You may see a few photos from nearby locations here. Many shoots span multiple spots in the same session.
Where you land comes down to the session you choose. A shorter weekday session sits at the low end; a weekend session with more time and more edited photos sits at the top. There's no deposit, and you pay after the shoot, not before.

Sheltered crescent beach below tall bluffs just south of Devil's Slide. Accessed by a steep stairway. Often quieter than nearby beaches; the cliffs form a natural amphitheater that frames couples beautifully.

A few things about Gray Whale Cove
Paid or free lot adjacent to the sand; can fill up on weekends.
Dog-friendly in most areas; leash rules vary by season.
West-facing — late sun through blue hour is the stretch worth chasing, especially clear winter evenings.
Exposed — wind picks up in the afternoon. Bring layers + a hair-tie if it's a coast cliff.
Gray Whale Cove also appears as Gray Whale Cove State Beach.
