California Redwood Elopement
K + J eloped this week in the beautiful redwoods of California. I grew up along the California Coast and I love combining the varying terrains on wedding days. K + J stayed at the beautiful Glen Oaks Big Sur and brought their amazing friend Micheal to perform a heartfelt ceremony in the redwoods. My favorite part of their day was how they got ready together in such a sweet way and set aside 10 min for creative photos in the light of their cabin. I’m so often rushed from location to location, to have the time to find light and be creative felt so exciting! They adventured from the redwoods to the beach, where they brought a small cake that their friend made them with the cutest cake topper I ever did see! ( a Polaroid of them!) and warm tea, which was perfect for such a cold November day. They had their first dance alone with the mountains and beach as their backdrop, and I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful day or couple.
H + J chose Carmel by the Sea for their engagement session. They have known each other since high school, and their relationship is so full of laughter that it was easy to capture them naturally. I appreciate both of you for trusting me to preserve this time of your life in Carmel. I love Carmel for engagement sessions as a variety of landscapes and the ability to get away from crowds is second to none.

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!
