Bay Area Elopement Photographer // Gabrielle & Eliot's Maternity Session

Written By Flora Gibson

Gabrielle & Eliot came to Ventana resort in Big Sur for their baby moon and maternity photographs. Gabrielle booked my adventure session package so we could explore the redwoods and several other locations. Half of my joy of adventure sessions is getting to meet and hang out with my couples and getting to know them in a more laid-back way than a traditional session. Gabrielle and Eliot had such a sweet, nurturing, and calming way about them and their love for each other. The way Eliot would sometimes stand behind me when I was photographing Gabrielle and softly remark about how beautiful she looked melted my heart. Sometimes you meet people and you just know deep down they will be fantastic parents and Gabrielle and Eliot are going to make some of the best. I can’t wait to see pictures of their sweet girl!

Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. It is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, with its charm and unique vibes. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and their ceremony under the redwoods, followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. What a beautiful day!

Claudia and Avery Eloped this week in Carmel, California, with both their best friends, all the love in the world for each other, and nothing but laughter. We adventured to the cliffs where their friends led them through heartfelt vows; they celebrated with a champagne spray and shots. We explored Garrapata Beach for couples portraits and their first dance on the beach. They had the most beautiful, heartfelt day, and I felt so lucky to be a part of it.

Nicole and Samuel eloping on the picturesque Oregon Coast was magical. The day began with their emotional first look and concluded with a heartwarming ceremony at Secret Beach. With the luxury of a whole four hours, they were able to soak in every moment of their special day. The couple's easygoing demeanor and deep connection created an atmosphere of unforgettable moments and intimate photography.
