Joey + Mia had just gotten married the afternoon before this. We hiked Taft Point at sunset, and woke up a few short hours later to be at Glacier Point for sunrise. One of my favorite elopements to date ✨ And guess what?! I’m heading back to this beautiful place this weekend for one last session before the road closes for the season! Can’t wait to share it with you guys 😍
I wish I could spend longer in this underwater world, where you’re surrounded by inescapable silence, warm waters, and animals you’d never otherwise encounter... this is why I’m SO stoked to get some more diving time in Kauai next week! If you have any favorite places on the island, feel free to comment below 😍
One of my favorite hikes of all time ✨ this week I have five weddings I’ll be delivering, one wedding to shoot in SoCal, an engagement in Yosemite, as well as prepping for our trip to Kauai next week. I’m stoked to head to the desert tonight for a mini fall camping trip though, sometimes it’s much needed to take a quick break in the midst of a crazy season.
What’s your favorite ocean animal? Aside from dolphins, sea turtles are a close second for me. Some have been tracked migrating all the way from Indonesia to Oregon, and they can live up to 80 years old! I wish it was possible to hear all of the adventurous tales this sea turtle has lived
I feel like this trip to the Yucatan really satisfied my craving of unplanned adventure. I love summiting mountains and appreciating beautiful places, but to show up to empty cenotes and swing off a rope swing for hours on end was a travel high that I won’t soon forget.
When the sun lined up perfectly, it cast these light rays in the water. It shown through so brightly and then dispersed into the darkness that continued another 150 feet below us. Seeing cenotes from above is cool, but I’d recommend throwing on a pair of goggles and taking a quick moment to experience a completely wild underwater world.
It’s too easy to wake up for sunrises when you know this is what’s waiting on the roof 🌞 now to figure out how to build this somewhere at home in Southern California... @papayaplayaproject
Cenotes are insaaane! The water is usually around 75 degrees fahrenheit and often times crystal clear, especially when light rays are shining through. My favorite part is throwing on goggles and seeing all of the different fish and even turtles swimming around. We’re heading to at least ten cenotes before going home, and I’m so stoked to share them all 😍
