Big Sur California Elopement

Elopement
Written By Flora Gibson

Frank and Alexis had a beautiful elopement in Big Sur, California. I had previously captured their engagement in San Francisco, so I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their wedding. They got ready at Glen Oaks Big Sur and had a small ceremony under the Redwoods along Highway 1. One of my favorite memories of the day was them starting off their wedding day with coffee and vows being written in the outdoor bath tubs. I thought it was so unique and a fun way to optimize the beautiful property of Glen Oaks. We then headed to the cliffs where the waves of the Pacific Ocean crashed along the coastline. It was a stunning location for their special day, and I was honored to capture their love in such a picturesque setting. Wedding photography in Big Sur, California is truly magical, and I am grateful to have been a part of this couple's unforgettable day.

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.
