Hi there! Welcome to the online home of Laura Tavarez Photography. I specialize in Wedding & Family Photography thru out California.

Greg & Sarah

May 11, 2023


The Barns at Cooper Molera | Monterey, CA


After matching together, Sarah & Greg met two days later, and started dating almost immediately. They both often comment on the moment they first locked eyes and how they were both so excited to meet each other. They fell in love with each other and each of their families. During the pandemic, while life forced them apart, due to living in different cities, the distance helped them together!! Important, long conversations during countless phone calls, and visits. Enabled them to make big decisions and plans of moving their lives permanently together! Sarah & Greg are so excited for this next step of tackling life together.

Before I had even officially met, Sarah, I knew she was going to be special. You see, a former LT Bride turned sweet friend, referred her to me. Referrals are my absolute favorite! Because I get to work with the same or very similar people and it just feels like an old friend already! 💗 Once I met Sarah and Greg officially, their gentleness and  kindness showed through immediately. On wedding day, I met all of their family and I loved that BOTH families were amazing. Each accepted the other as one big family instead of two. LOVE THIS!!! 💕

So many happy tears were shed throughout the day. From getting ready, to the big reveal, to the first look, to the sweet ceremony with handwritten vows, and even into the night with an amazing Youtube video speech made by Sarah’s dad! From beginning to end what a special sweet day to be apart of.

Spring in Monterey

Oh, and the VIEWS!!! Spring time in California is a special delight. The Monterey coastline was an extra sweet treat for this valley girl. The weather had called for overcast, cloudy and little chance of sun. Nice to be surprised and have beautiful blue skies and puffy clouds , overlooking the ocean during the first look. Amazingly stunning spot to be with your true love on your wedding day!

The Barns at Cooper Molera is a treasure of a venue! Gorgeous blooms everywhere. Amazing fun group enjoying the sounds of Sarah’s brother, Eric who doubled as DJ! Enjoy this sneak peak into Sarah & Greg’s special day.
