Kendall and Connor’s Perry House wedding in Monterey, California was one of those rare coastal days where everything just aligned: glowing sunshine, good people, and a whole lot of joy.
Nestled just steps from the Monterey harbor, the Perry House offers a perfect blend of historic charm and ocean views. As a Monterey wedding photographer, I live just up the street, and I’ll tell you—it’s 50/50 whether you’ll get fog or sun in the summer. On this day? Full golden glow.
Getting Ready at the Perry House
Kendall got ready with her crew upstairs in the Perry House bridal suite. The mood? Pure excitement, happy tears, and effortless glam. She looked absolutely stunning—classic, glowing, and totally herself.
Outdoor Ceremony With Ocean Views
The couple exchanged vows outdoors, with views of the harbor behind them and seagulls floating above. Waves crashing in the background, friends and family gathered close—it felt cinematic, grounded, and real.
If you’re considering a Monterey wedding venue that feels coastal without being overly beachy, the Perry House nails it.
Golden Hour Portraits in Downtown Monterey
After the ceremony and a bit of cocktail hour mingling, we snuck away for some sunset portraits around the historic adobes downtown. The light was unreal—soft, golden, and full of texture. Kendall and Connor made every frame feel like a still from an elevated Nicholas Sparks adaptation.
Elegant Reception With Coastal Vibes
The reception was a full-on celebration, with The Class Band bringing the energy and florals adding just the right amount of sophistication. It had just enough coastal detail to remind you you’re in Monterey, without feeling themed.
Real Moments, Real Joy
What made this day unforgettable wasn’t just the light or the location—it was the energy. Kendall and Connor weren’t just celebrating their marriage; they were celebrating life with their favorite people. Honest, joyful, and full of presence.
And as always, these are just a handful of my favs, but feel free to dive into all the photos from their Perry House Monterey wedding.
